I'd Rather Hear Preachin'

Verse 1

This world is filled with voices

Making restless noises

Trying to convince us God is dead

They shout the world’s opinions

But I refuse to listen

There’s something I would rather hear instead

CHORUS

(I’d rather hear) preachin’, singin’, prayin’, shoutin’

Where everyone’s agreein’

Nobody’s doubtin’

I’d rather hear the church lift up the Lord

(I’d rather hear) someone, stand and, give Him glory

I’d rather hear a sweet testimony

Than anything else I hear in this world

(Tag) Than all the noise I hear in this world, I’d rather hear the church lift up the Lord

Verse 2

Some say that we’re old fashioned

To follow such a passion

But we know what happened in that tomb

We’ve been changed forever

By resurrection power

So just give me a preacher of this truth

Verse 3

So let them sound their anger

The love of God is greater

They can find the answer if we pray

Oh, how we’d love to win them

Help them find what’s missin’

Soon we hope they’ll join in and say..
