Lyrics
You can't run
you can't hide
there's know need
need to try
you don"t know when or how's he' coming you just can't get by
Now listen
Oh death is like a policeman traveling through this land
he's serving a death notice to every women and man
you gone need a lawyer
if I were you that's the next thing I would do
just as sure as you are sitting here tonight one day he's got a warrant for you
but you know what
you can't run (you can't hide)
(know need) there's know need
know need try
(you don't know when)
or (how's) he's coming
(you can't)
you just can't get by
one more thing
Jesus is a lawyer
one who's never lost a case
so if I was you
I'd get lawyer Jesus
I won't wait I make haste
this is something you can't get around
know matter what do
just as sure you can hear my voice tonight one day he's got a warrant for you
but you know what
one more thing you see
He'll take the baby
from her mother's breast
he'll take the rich man and everybody else
He'll take mother daughter, father and son
sometimes He won"t stop till got that last one
you'll don't mind
help me tell'em
(Can't run) can't hide
(can't run) can't hide
he got your number
he know where you live
know when you leave
and when you come home
well
my mind go back to a story in the bible days
one day God called a man by name of Jonah
said, nigh Jonah I want you to go down to place called Nineveh
tell my people if they don't repent I'll destroy that city
but you know that story
Jonah didn't wanna go
so Jonah decide
that he was going down to a place called Joppa
he went on down to the ship yard and he went on down to the ticket office
got him a ticket
and he was on his way to a place called Trashish
and he went on down
on the bottom of the deck
got over in a corner
and went fast to asleep
but what he didn't know
when he laid down
God was looking right at him
God was looking at him
but God didn't bother
all God did Was
he called the wind
and told the wind I want you to blow
and he told thunder I want you to roar
and He lightning I want you to flash and He told the tides to stand up real high cause I gotta child that's trying to run
and think he can hide
And about that time
the captain came around
and told his crew members
to put all the anchors
we gotta get ready
and set for sail
and then they tell me
thunder started to roar
lightning started to flash
tides stood up high
and the wind begin to blow
captain got confuse
told all his crew members
out of all this time
we made this journey
we ain't never
Ain't never had trouble before
then he told all his crew members
come on the top deck
then ask them tell me
tell me who is your God
who is your God
who ever you God is
I want you to call Him
and about that time
another man came
and said wait a minute captain there's one more man
and he's down stairs
and over in a corner
and he's fast a sleep
captain said let me go down
I'll see about him
captain walked over and shook old Jonah
and Jonah stood up
and the captain asked him
how can you sleep and we in a storm
than he ask him tell me
who is your God
and Jonah told him
my God is:
father of Abraham, Isaac, Jacob
and the captain said
call him
Jonah told him
I ain't gotta call him
ain't gotta call him
he already know
he already know
that I'm trying run
and I'm trying to hide
said, well now captain
if you want peace on your ship
you got take me on top
and throw me over board
so he took Jonah up
and they threw him over board
and bible tell me
God had a fish prepared for him swallowed him down
then turned around
and took down
on the bottom of the sea
but I so glad to night
I'm so glad tonight
it don't make know difference
how low you get
God can always hear you
if you would just call him
just call him
