The Lord's Work

Somewhere, further up the road
Somewhere, we'll meet again
So we might as well start now
Treating each other like a friend

It's too late, nowhere to run
It's time to get together
And get the Lord's work done
It's time to get together
And get the Lord's work done

Someday, we'll have to get along
Someday, teaching love instead of hate
Might as well start now
Before it's too late

It's too late, got nowhere to run
It's time to get together, people
Get the Lord's work done
It's time to get together
And get the Lord's work done

Listen, sister's been teachin'
Tryin' to raise the children right
Preacher's been preachin' (carry on, "what the preacher said")
They tryna spread the news
I heard a man say, "You got to serve somebody"
And you do his tiny chores (hmm, hmm)

It's too late (too late, too late)
Nowhere, nowhere to run (where to run to)
It's time to get together
And get the Lord's work done
