It don't do to preach the gospel
If you don't live the Christian life
It don't do
No it don't do to preach the gospel
If you don't live the Christian life
It don't do
It don't do to preach the gospel
If you don't live the Christian life
It don't do to talk about heaven
If you never look up and see the sky
It don't do
And it don't do to preach on Matthew
If you have not yet read Mark
It don't do
And it don't do to preach on Matthew
If you have not yet read Mark
It don't do
And it don't do to preach on Matthew
If you have not yet read Mark
It don't do to talk about the judgement
If there is no love in your heart
[CHORUS:]
Word became flesh and He dwelt among men
We have seen him with our eyes
We have held him in our hands
And before you say whatever you will
I think you better do what you can
Or it won't do
And it don't do to preach on Moses
If you bow down to the golden calf
It don't do
And it don't do to preach on Moses
If you bow down to the golden calf
It don't do
And it don't do to preach on Moses
If you bow down to the golden calf
It don't do to talk about glory
If you never dare to laugh
[CHORUS:]
