He Said - Gold City

1. Once there was an old time preacher

Who had a church on the outskirts of town

You’d never call Him a mild-mannered teacher

He was a shouter right down to the ground

He had a red-letter King James Bible

It opened up to John 3: 16

I first heard him at a summer revival

He rolled up his sleeves and he started to sing

He said, you must confess your sins

He said, you must be born again

He preached Jesus, crucified and risen from the dead

He said, you gotta make it right

He said, you need to come tonight

The spirit moved stronger with every single passage he read

I got saved when I heard what he said

He said!

He said!

2.Well I’m a member of that little church now

But the preacher died a long time ago

He was preaching on the street when God called him

Now he’s a shouting up in heaven I know

We’re still moving in the right direction

And we’re following the way that he led

We’ve got that old-time preacher’s conviction

And I still remember just what he said, what he said

He said, you must confess your sins

He said, you must be born again

He preached Jesus, crucified and risen from the dead

He said, you gotta make it right

He said, you need to come tonight

The spirit moved stronger with every single passage he read

I got saved when I heard what that old-time, hell-fire, brimstone preacher said

I got saved when I heard what he said, he said
