Born to Preach - Those Poor Bastards

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 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 lot of educated preachers

Who are all mixed up in the head

They’ve 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 ought to 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
