Lyrics

[Verse]
He slammed his Bible down real tight
With fire burning in his eyes tonight
The wrinkled preacher took the stand
With calloused palm and heavy hand

[Verse 2]
He roared about sin like a thunderstorm
His words were sharp but his heart was warm
Every sinner heard his wrathful wail
A salvation tale on Heaven's trail

[Chorus]
Oh preacher man with the lightning tongue
You speak of sin and the battles won
Your voice cuts hills it shakes the ground
Where there’s darkness
Grace is found

[Verse 3]
He called out liars thieves and pride
Warning all with arms spread wide
Repentance was the amber flame
To burn the curse and cleanse the shame

[Bridge]
The banjo echoed high and clear
As voices joined with holy cheer
The preacher stomped
His boots did crack
Like thunderclap
No turning back

[Chorus]
Oh preacher man with the lightning tongue
You speak of sin and the battles won
Your voice cuts hills it shakes the ground
Where there’s darkness
Grace is found
