The Lord said 'stand up Paul, and dry off your tears.
You must preach the gospel for many long years.
Go down to Damascus the street that's called straight.
My servant will tell you the road you must take.
Â
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.
So go tell the world Paul I'm counting on you.
Â
Three days have gone by Lord and still I don't see.
Here comes Ananias with a message for me
He says brother Paul the Lord in the sky
Has sent me to heal you and to open your eyes.
I'll send you to the Gentiles I'll send you to Rome.
But Paul you must suffer till I call you home.
You'll sleep in the desert and be ship wrecked at sea.
But keep right on preaching the gospel for me.
