| Paul's Ministry The Lord said "Stand up! Paul, and dry up your tears. You must preach my Gospel for many long years. I'll send you Damascus to a street that's called Straight, There 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." It's been three long days, 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 see you and open your eyes. I'll send you to the Gentiles, I'll send you to Rome. Oh, but, you'll have to suffer till I call you home. You'll sleep on the desert, be wrecked on the sea. Just keep right on preaching till you hear from me. 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." Many years have gone by, Lord, and still I've been true. But, now I must leave this field with You. I finished my course, Lord, I've taught in Your Name, But, I'm sure there are others who will do just the same. 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. Yes, go tell the world, Paul, I'm counting on you." (Author: Mrs. Raymond Thacker - Oct. 17th, 1968) |
