Brother Taylor

The Acappella Company

Lyrics:



Chorus:

Brother Taylor keep on preachin'

Cause you know just what we need

When we turn from what we know is right

And what is good indeed

Brother Taylor don't be easy

As your telling us His Word

Tell the greatest news that man has ever heard



At the old country church house (old country church), he was the preacher man

He preached the Word from the Bible, talkin' 'bout the promised land

And the old time religion (preachin' the word) and just how it will be

It seemed like he was preachin' to me

When he spoke about righteousness and having pure minds

And controlling our appetite all of the time

Didn't know if I could live it (knew it was right), though I knew it was right

Love the Lord with all of my might



Repeat Chorus



Then I came to the crossroads (given a choice) and I was given a choice

I could see Brother Taylor; I could still hear his voice

"If you wanna follow Jesus (answer His call) and would answer His call

You know you've got to give Him your all"

So I made a decision (do what is right) that I would do what is right

I would give to the Master all of my life

Yes for old Brother Taylor's (still on my mind) an inspiration to me

Guides me to eternity



Repeat Chorus



Even though he's gone (he's gone), I have the strength to carry on (carry on)

The word he left with me is I'm forgiven (don't you know that I'm forgiven)

I hear him preaching now (hear now) as he is sharing with us how (share with how)

That we can live together up in Heaven



Repeat Chorus



Ever heard (still preach the Word)
