Вступление
[Verse 1]
D
The Old Preacher Man Stood There In That Pulpit
G D
The Church House Was Empty Almost
His Eyes Filled With Tears And His Mind Filled With Memories
E A
Of Not So Long Ago
D
When The Church House Was Full, Not One Pew Was Empty
G D
The Alter Was Stained With Saints Tears
G D
As He Stands There This Mourning Sounding Out The Warning
A D
Once Again Letting Them Know
[Chorus]
D G D
There’s a Heaven to gain, and a Hell to shun
A D
The way is still straight, there’s a race to be run.
G D
You can live as you please, but you must pay the cost
A D
And the highway to Heaven still goes by the cross.
[Verse 2]
D
Some of the members thought he was “old fashion”
G D
Unwilling to change with the times.
So they found a new church with more modern day preachers
E A
Who were willing to let things go by
D
But the old preacher stood for what he believed in
G D
And what he had preached forty years
G D
As he stands there this morning in a near empty church house
A D
His opening remarks are these words
[Chorus]
D G D
There’s a Heaven to gain, and a Hell to shun
A D
The way is still straight, there’s a race to be run.
G D
You can live as you please, but you must pay the cost
A D
And the highway to Heaven still goes by the cross.
[Verse 3]
D
The Old Preacher Man Stands There In That City
G D
The City He's Preached Of So Long
And He's Never Seen Such A Great Congregation
E A
All Gathered To Welcome Him Home
D
And He's Never Heard, More Beautiful Singing
G D
Thats Coming From That Heavenly Band
He's Preached His Last Sermon And Carried His Last Burden
A D
He's At Rest In That Heavenly Land
*spoken*
But He'd Still Want Us To Know
[Chorus]
D G D
There’s a Heaven to gain, and a Hell to shun
A D
The way is still straight, there’s a race to be run.
G D
You can live as you please, but you must pay the cost
A D
And the highway to Heaven still goes by the cross.
[Tag]
G D
You can live as you please, but you must pay the cost
A G D
And the highway to Heaven still goes by the cross.
