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
