They Won't Believe

They Won’t Believe
David G. Marshall, Ralph Stanley (Zap Publishing Co., BMI)

When I was the sinner the people would say,
“If you want to be saved you better pray.”
I fell on my knees and I found the Lord
He promised me a sure reward

Jesus said if you’ll go, I'll go with you
Preach the gospel, I'll preach with you
Lord if I go tell me what to say
’Cause they won't believe on me

The men of Babylon were mighty men
They put ol’ Daniel in the Lion’s den
The angel came down and lock the lion’s jaw
Daniel made a pillow out of the lion's paw

Jesus said if you’ll go, I'll go with you
Preach the gospel, I'll preach with you
Lord if I go tell me what to say
’Cause they won't believe on me

They put Paul and Silas in the Philistine jail
The Lord put Jonah in the belly of the whale
The whale cast Jonah on the banks of the sea
Ought to be a lesson for you and me

Jesus said if you’ll go, I'll go with you
Preach the gospel, I'll preach with you
Lord if I go tell me what to say
’Cause they won't believe on me

Jesus said if you’ll go, I'll go with you
Preach the gospel, I'll preach with you
Lord if I go tell me what to say
’Cause they won't believe on me
