[Chorus]
C                              F
I like to hear ‘em preaching I like hear ‘em pray
  C                               D               G
I like to hear ‘em talk about the good ol’ gospel way
     C                      F                     C
They read it from the bible and they all began to shout
                                        G                 C
And I’m convinced that’s one thing that we can’t live without


[Verse 1]
             F                          C
I was a nonbeliever I didn’t believe in God
                         D               G
I was always sinning and on this earth I trod
C                          F        C
Since I’m bound in sinners I’m not alone
                          G               C
Salvation is the only way that we can get home


[Chorus]
C                              F
I like to hear ‘em preaching I like hear ‘em pray
  C                               D               G
I like to hear ‘em talk about the good ol’ gospel way
     C                      F                     C
They read it from the bible and they all began to shout
                                        G                 C
And I’m convinced that’s one thing that we can’t live without

[Verse 2]
                             F            C
I sit way back in the church and I bow my head
                               D                 G
And when they start to praying I do just as they bid
     C                          F                 C
Well I never even close my eyes I listen to their prayers
                                G           C
And since that time I found out God is everywhere


[Chorus]
C                              F
I like to hear ‘em preaching I like hear ‘em pray
  C                               D               G

[Verse 3]
                                     F               C
There’s people who look for bargains downtown in the stores
                             D                  G
Denying God in His glory and all that He stands for
  C                           F                      C
I don’t know about deductions but there’s one that I know
                             G             C
Well God’s your only bargain as you onward go


[Chorus]
C                            F

                  G                     C             G       C   C
And I’m convinced that’s one thing that we can’t live with    out
