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 thats called straight My servant will tell you the road you must take I counted on Adam I counted on Kain 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 Three days have gone by Lord And still I can't see Here comes Ananias with a message for me He said "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 And Paul you will suffer til I call you home You must sleep on the desert be shipwrecked at sea But just go right on preaching the Gospel for me I counted on Adam I counted on Kain 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
