"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 dream 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 haven't yet read Mark
It don't do (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 judgment
If there is no love in your heart
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 (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
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
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 the best that you can
Or it won't do
It don't do
It don't do
It don't do
It don't do
It don't do
It don't do
It don't do"
