It don't do to preach the gospel

If you don't live the Christian life

It don't do

No it don't do to preach the gospel

If you don't live the Christian life

It don't do

It don't do to preach the gospel

If you don't live the Christian life

It don't do to dream about heaven

If you never look up and see the sky

It don't do



And it don't do to preach on Matthew

If you have not yet read Mark

It don't do

And it don't do to preach on Matthew

If you haven't yet read Mark

It don't do (It don't do)

And it don't do to preach on Matthew

If you have not yet read Mark

It don't do to talk about the judgment

If there is no love in your heart



Word became flesh and He dwelt among men

We have seen Him with our eyes

We have held Him in our hands

And before you say whatever you will

I think you better do what you can

Or it won't do (It don't do)



And it don't do to preach on Moses

If you bow down to the golden calf

It don't do

It don't do to preach on Moses

If you bow down to the golden calf

It don't do

And it don't do to preach on Moses

If you bow down to the golden calf

It don't do to talk about glory

If you never dare to laugh



Word became flesh and He dwelt among men

We have seen Him with our eyes

We have held Him in our hands

And before you say whatever you will

I think you better do the best that you can

Or it won't do



It don't do

It don't do

It don't do

It don't do

It don't do

It don't do

It don't do
