Lyrics
IF THE LORD WOULDN?T DO IT
Words and music written by Steven Oudean Ó2002
VERSE 1
Growin? up just a young man askin? questions left and right
I said Daddy can you help me, I?ve got a problem here tonight
How?s fella know what?s right dad?, how?s a fella know what?s wrong?
Well it?s really kind of simple son and I?ll tell you in this song
CHORUS
And Daddy said if the Lord wouldn?t do it, then it?s probably not for you
He said if the Lord wouldn?t do it, then it?s somethin? not to do
And if it makes you feel uneasy that?s his spirit tellin? you
If the Lord wouldn?t do it, then you better not do it too
VERSE 2
Well it?s been a long, long time now and my Daddy?s passed away
But I can still remember all the things my Daddy said
And Oh Lord how I miss him, cause he was my good, good friend
But I always will treasure the wisdom of the man
CHORUS
And Daddy said if the Lord wouldn?t do it then it?s probably not for you
He said if the Lord wouldn?t do it then it?s somethin? not to do
And if it makes you feel uneasy that?s his spirit tellin? you
If the Lord wouldn?t do it, then you better not do it too
KEY CHANGE TO A
CHORUS
He said if the Lord wouldn?t do it then it?s probably not for you
He said If the Lord wouldn?t do it then it?s somethin? not to do
And if it makes you feel uneasy that?s his spirit tellin? you
If the Lord wouldn?t do it, then you better not do it too
