John Grant - God's Gonna Cut You Down lyrics
[John Grant - God's Gonna Cut You Down lyrics]
You may run home for a long time
Run home for a long time
You may run home for a long time
Until your God Almighty's gonna cut you down
Great God Almighty is gonna cut you down
Go tell that long-tongued liar
Go tell that midnight rider
Tell the gambler, the rambler, the back-biter
Tell them God Almighty's gonna cut them down
Great God Almighty, let me tell you the news
My head's been wet with the midnight dews
Now I've been down on my bended knees
Talking to the man from Galilee
My God spoke, He spoke so sweet
I thought I heard the shuffle of angels' feet
He put one hand upon my head
Great God Almighty
Let me tell you what He said
You may run home for a long time
Great God Almighty's gonna cut you down
You can run home for a long time
Run home for a long time
You can run home for a long time
I tell you God Almighty's gonna cut you down
Look how God Almighty's gonna put you down
You may throw a little rock
And hide your hand
Working in the dark against your fellow man
But true as God has made
The day and the night
What you do in the dark will
Be brought to the light
You may run and hide, and slide and slide
Trying to take the mold
From your neighbor's eye
But true as God has made
The Virgin and the Pope
What you reap, my brother, is what you sow
You may run home for a long time
Run home for a long time
You may run home for a long time
I tell you God Almighty's gonna cut you down
Great God Almighty's gonna cut you down
Go tell that long-tongued liar
Go tell that midnight rider
Tell the gambler, the rambler, the back-biter
Tell them God Almighty's gonna cut them down
Great God Almighty's gonna cut them down
Great God Almighty's gonna cut them down
Great God Almighty's gonna cut them down
Run home for a long time
You may run home for a long time
Until your God Almighty's gonna cut you down
Great God Almighty is gonna cut you down
Go tell that long-tongued liar
Go tell that midnight rider
Tell the gambler, the rambler, the back-biter
Tell them God Almighty's gonna cut them down
Great God Almighty, let me tell you the news
My head's been wet with the midnight dews
Now I've been down on my bended knees
Talking to the man from Galilee
My God spoke, He spoke so sweet
I thought I heard the shuffle of angels' feet
He put one hand upon my head
Great God Almighty
Let me tell you what He said
You may run home for a long time
Great God Almighty's gonna cut you down
You can run home for a long time
Run home for a long time
You can run home for a long time
I tell you God Almighty's gonna cut you down
Look how God Almighty's gonna put you down
You may throw a little rock
And hide your hand
Working in the dark against your fellow man
But true as God has made
The day and the night
What you do in the dark will
Be brought to the light
You may run and hide, and slide and slide
Trying to take the mold
From your neighbor's eye
But true as God has made
The Virgin and the Pope
What you reap, my brother, is what you sow
You may run home for a long time
Run home for a long time
You may run home for a long time
I tell you God Almighty's gonna cut you down
Great God Almighty's gonna cut you down
Go tell that long-tongued liar
Go tell that midnight rider
Tell the gambler, the rambler, the back-biter
Tell them God Almighty's gonna cut them down
Great God Almighty's gonna cut them down
Great God Almighty's gonna cut them down
Great God Almighty's gonna cut them down
