The Preacher

Jamie N Commons

Lyrics
Up in the north where the cold wind blows
Over the prairie gold

Theres a church bell screaming
On the steeple high

Gather ye children of men

With one hand on the trigger, one hand on the cross
Jesus and his family are two things he's lost

March him to the scaffold and string him up on high
The call came out from the crowd

Theres blood in their eyes and blood in their hearts
For, the blood turning dry on his hands

With one hand on the trigger, one hand on the cross

Jesus and his family are two things he's lost

He cries Oh Lord what have you done
You wont never see heaven or kingdom come

He cries Oh Lord what have you done
You wont never see heaven or kingdom come

Listen to me my wayward flock

He cried with a noose round his neck

I spoke to the lord on the mountain top

His bidding was all I could do

I spoke to the lord on the mountain top

His bidding was all I could do

He cries Oh Lord your works been done
Now show me heaven or kingdom come

He cries Oh Lord your works been done
Now show me heaven or kingdom come

One hand on the trigger, one hand on the cross

Jesus and his family are two things he's lost.
