I heard that T.V. preacher
Screaming, "God forgives all sin
Let him save your soul today
Or the Devil's gonna win."
I sat there on the sofa
And my palms began to sweat
He said God needed money
And I must pay my debt.
So I sent that preacher money
To take my sins away
So I'd be on that preacher's team
Come final Judgment Day.
Then I learned God's love is free
Don't be T.V. preacher poor
God just gives his love away
The preacher charges more.
Don't send T.V. preachers money
They've got nothing you can use
God will save you for the asking
From those Judgement Day blues.
