I Like to Hear 'Em Preach It

Written by Jimmy Martin and Paul Williams, Sung by Jimmy Martin

I like to hear ‘em preach it, I like to hear ‘em pray
I like to hear ‘em talk about the good ol’ gospel way
They read it from the Bible and they all begin to shout
And I'm convinced that’s one thing that we can’t live without

I was a nonbeliever I didn’t believe in God
I was always sinning as upon this earth I trod
Since I’m bound in sinners I’m not alone
Salvation is the only way that we can get home

I like to hear 'em preach it, I like to hear 'em pray
I like to hear 'em talk about the good ol' gospel way
They read it from the Bible and they all begin to shout
And I'm convinced that's one thing that we can't live without

I'd sit way back in the church and I'd bow my head
And when they start to praying I'd do just as they did
Well I never even closed my eyes I'd listen to their prayers
And since that time I've found out God is everywhere

I like to hear 'em preach it, I like to hear 'em pray
I like to hear 'em talk about the good ol' gospel way
They read it from the Bible and they all begin to shout
And I'm convinced that's one thing that we can't live without

There’s people who look for bargains downtown in the stores
Denying God in His glory and all that He stands for
I don’t know about deductions but there’s one that I know
Well God’s your only bargain as you onward go 

I like to hear 'em preach it, I like to hear 'em pray
I like to hear 'em talk about the good ol' gospel way
They read it from the Bible and they all begin to shout
And I'm convinced that's one thing that we can't live without
