I was born to preach the gospel
I was born to preach the gospel
I was born to preach the gospel
And I sure do love my job
Well, I ain't never been to no college
And I didn't get a chance in school
But when Jesus Christ anointed me to preach the gospel
He didn't leave me no fool
I was born to preach the gospel
I was born to preach the gospel
I was born to preach the gospel
And I sure do love my job
Now, there's a lotta educated preachers
Who are all mixed up in the head
They got their hearts fixed on gold
And are walkin' around, spiritually dead
I was born to preach the gospel
I was born to preach the gospel
I was born to preach the gospel
And I sure do love my job
Well, preachers, they outta stick together
But everyone has split
What the church needs right now is to regenerate the pulpit
I was born to preach the gospel
I was born to preach the gospel
I was born to preach the gospel
And I sure do love my job
I said, I sure do love my God
I was born to preach the gospel
I was born to preach the gospel
And I sure do love my job
Well, I ain't never been to no college
And I didn't get a chance in school
But when Jesus Christ anointed me to preach the gospel
He didn't leave me no fool
I was born to preach the gospel
I was born to preach the gospel
I was born to preach the gospel
And I sure do love my job
Now, there's a lotta educated preachers
Who are all mixed up in the head
They got their hearts fixed on gold
And are walkin' around, spiritually dead
