The Preacher Said, "Jesus Said" (with Billy Graham)
Well, with everybody tryin' to tell us what to do
You wonder how are you to know whose word is true
But the preacher just keep on a bringing us the very same word
And from St. Paul to Billy Graham the same is heard
And the preacher said of truth, Jesus said
And Jesus said, "I'm the way, the truth, and the life"
Well, we can see that the world is full of greed
There's so much hate yet there is so much need
What should we do when no one seems to care?
What can we do when there is no love there?
And then the preacher said of love, Jesus said
Jesus said, "Love thy neighbour as thyself"
Well, please tell us the road we oughta go
In such confusion, how are we to know?
And if there is a heaven, show us to its gates
Oh, you'd better tell us preacher before it's too late
And then the preacher said of heaven, Jesus said
Jesus said, "Seek ye first the kingdom of God and his righteousness
And all these things shall be added unto you"
Well, please tell us how we can find a way
To climb every mountain that we face every day
And in time of trouble what to depend upon
To be the truth and help us carry on
And the preacher said of trouble, Jesus said
Jesus said, "Let not your heart be troubled
If you believe in God, believe also in me
In my father's house are many mansions
If it were not, so I would have told you
I go to prepare a place for you
And if I prepare a place for you, I will come again
And receive you unto myself
That where I am, there you may be also"
You wonder how are you to know whose word is true
But the preacher just keep on a bringing us the very same word
And from St. Paul to Billy Graham the same is heard
And the preacher said of truth, Jesus said
And Jesus said, "I'm the way, the truth, and the life"
Well, we can see that the world is full of greed
There's so much hate yet there is so much need
What should we do when no one seems to care?
What can we do when there is no love there?
And then the preacher said of love, Jesus said
Jesus said, "Love thy neighbour as thyself"
Well, please tell us the road we oughta go
In such confusion, how are we to know?
And if there is a heaven, show us to its gates
Oh, you'd better tell us preacher before it's too late
And then the preacher said of heaven, Jesus said
Jesus said, "Seek ye first the kingdom of God and his righteousness
And all these things shall be added unto you"
Well, please tell us how we can find a way
To climb every mountain that we face every day
And in time of trouble what to depend upon
To be the truth and help us carry on
And the preacher said of trouble, Jesus said
Jesus said, "Let not your heart be troubled
If you believe in God, believe also in me
In my father's house are many mansions
If it were not, so I would have told you
I go to prepare a place for you
And if I prepare a place for you, I will come again
And receive you unto myself
That where I am, there you may be also"
