Well, my goodness gracious, let me tell you the news:

My head's been wet with the midninght dew

I've been down on bended knee, talkin' to the man from Galilee

He spoke to me in a voice so sweet,

I thought I heard the shuffle of the angel's feet

He called my name and my heart stood still
                          N.C.
When He said, "John, go do My will."

Well, you may throw your rock and hide your hand,

Workin' in the dark against your fellow man

But as sure as God made black and white,

What's done in the dark will be brought to the light

Bb5

Run on for a long time,

Run on for a long time.
