Lyrics

The lord said "stand up! paul, and dry up your tears
You must preach my gospel for many long years
Go now to damascus to a street that's called straight
You'll meet ananias and there you must wait."

Chorus:
"I counted on adam, I counted on cain
I counted on jonah but he was the same
I counted on judas but he proved untrue
Now, go tell the world paul
I'm counting on you."

[ steel ]

Three days have gone by, lord, and still I can't see
But ananias, my brother is speaking to me
He says "brother paul, god, our lord in the sky
Has sent me to heal you and open your eyes

I'll send you to the gentiles, I'll send you to rome
But, you'll have to suffer till I call you home
You'll sleep in the desert, be wrecked on the sea
But, keep right on preaching my great name for me
