"Preach The Truth"

"Preach the Truth"

(Lyrics By Gerald Logan)

The preachers today ain't preachin' the truth

They’re ticklin' ears, not teachin' the proof

Soft words and sugar just to fill up the pews

But the gospel's been watered and that's bad news

They preach of blessings, cars and gold

But not of repentance or saving your soul

The cross gets quieter every week

While wolves in robes pretend to speak

Oh, preach the truth, don't twist His Word

Don't hide the fire just to sound preferred

Souls are dyin', lost and blind

We need the Word that saves mankind

Oh preacher man, please stand up bold

Preach the blood, the cross, and streets of gold

They skip the parts that cut too deep

But truth ain’t always meant to keep

It's meant to wake the sinner's soul

And make the broken-hearted whole

They dance around what Jesus said

But He wore thorns and He bled red

This ain’t a game, this ain't a show

It’s heaven or hell — that’s what folks should know

Oh, preach the truth, don’t twist His Word

Don’t hide the fire just to sound preferred

Souls are dyin’, lost and blind

We need the Word that saves mankind

Oh preacher man, please stand up bold

Preach the blood, the cross, and streets of gold

Don't fear the faces or the crowd

Just lift your voice and cry out loud

The time is short, the hour's late

Don’t trade the truth for love or hate

So if you’re called to preach, then preach it strong

Don’t bow to pressure, don’t play along

Preach Jesus Christ, the only Way

And let the Spirit lead each word you say
