It Don't Do

"It don't do to preach the gospel 
If you don't live the Christian life 
It don't do 
No it don't do to preach the gospel 
If you don't live the Christian life 
It don't do 
It don't do to preach the gospel 
If you don't live the Christian life 
It don't do to dream about heaven 
If you never look up and see the sky 
It don't do 

And it don't do to preach on Matthew 
If you have not yet read Mark 
It don't do 
And it don't do to preach on Matthew 
If you haven't yet read Mark 
It don't do (It don't do) 
And it don't do to preach on Matthew 
If you have not yet read Mark 
It don't do to talk about the judgment 
If there is no love in your heart 

Word became flesh and He dwelt among men 
We have seen Him with our eyes 
We have held Him in our hands 
And before you say whatever you will 
I think you better do what you can 
Or it won't do (It don't do) 

And it don't do to preach on Moses 
If you bow down to the golden calf 
It don't do 
It don't do to preach on Moses 
If you bow down to the golden calf 
It don't do 
And it don't do to preach on Moses 
If you bow down to the golden calf 
It don't do to talk about glory 
If you never dare to laugh 

Word became flesh and He dwelt among men 
We have seen Him with our eyes 
We have held Him in our hands 
And before you say whatever you will 
I think you better do the best that you can 
Or it won't do 

It don't do 
It don't do 
It don't do 
It don't do 
It don't do 
It don't do 
It don't do"
