[b]THE OLD PREACHER[/b]I saw and old preacher on the TV one dayHe was saving some souls in the old-fashioned wayHe was preaching damnation and hell-fire for sinBut the mercy of God on those who love Him.Love Him! Love Him! Praise God, hallelujah, love Him! He was preaching damnation and hellfire for sinBut the mercy of God on those who love HimI was a sinner, I was a liar, I was a thief and a cheatI'd committed some sins that I cannot repeatI was helpless and hopeless, so I started to cryI was scared what would happen to me should I diePoor me! Poor me! What's gonna happen to me?I was helpless and hopeless, so I started to cryI was scared what would happen to me should I die"Jesus died to save sinners!" the old preacher saidChrist's story was told in a tract that I readHe was beaten and spat on and nailed to a treeWhere He suffered and died -- and He did it for me!For me! For me! He said that He did it for me!He was beaten and spat on and nailed to a treeWhere He suffered and died -- and He did it for me.Are you rich, are you famous, are you a business tycoon?Are you mighty successful, do you shoot for the Moon?Well brother believe me, this story is trueJesus suffered and died -- and He did it for you!For you! For you! He said that He did it for youYes brother, believe me this story is trueJesus suffered and died -- and He did it for you.We're lost, we're condemned, we're the prisoners of sinFor the words we have spoken and the persons we've beenSo repent, believe the gospel the old man taught meJesus suffered and died and His blood set us freeWe're free! We're free! His sacrifice set us free!So repent, believe the gospel the old man taught meJesus suffered and died -- and His love set us free!
