I am born to preach the gospel
I am born to preach the gospel
I am born to preach the gospel
And I sure do love my job
 
I have never been to no college
And I didn't get a chance in school
But when Jesus Christ annointed me to preach the gospel
He sure didn't leave me no fool, oh yes
 
Well, we have a lots of educated preachers
That's fixed up in the head
And got their hearts unfixed with God
And walkin' around buried to death, oh yes
 
Well, you take old Nicodemus
Well, they made him as [bad word] to rule
But he went the night to meet Jesus
And he found himself an educated fool, oh yes
 
Oh, preachers ought to stand together
But you see yourself they have fled
Now, all the Churches is a-needin' right now
Is a rage and a wrathful pit
