Nobody ever talks about the way it used to be,
When tears were on the altar from sinners on their knees
The preacher didn't worry 'bout politically correct
It wasn't his opinion; it was what that Bible said
We can try to pick and choose, but one size still fits all
There is no brand-new high-tech way to make men heed the call
It's time to tell it like it was cause that's the way it is
If we want it like they had it, we've got to do it like they did
Preaching wrong is wrong and right is right
There is no grey, just black and white
And if it took the Blood back then, well it still does
We just gotta tell it like it was
Is there any wonder that we're in the shape we're in
The church will only say it if they're sure it won't offend
John may have baptized Jesus, but He isn't watered down
There's still the power in His Word to turn this world around
It's time to tell it like it was cause that's the way it is
If we want it like they had it, we've got to do it like they did
Preaching wrong is wrong and right is right
There is no grey, just black and white
And if it took the Blood back then, well it still does
We just gotta tell it like it was
Oh, it's time to tell it like it was cause that's the way it is
If we want it like they had it, we've got to do it like they did
Preaching wrong is wrong and right is right
There is no grey, just black and white
And if it took the Blood back then, well it still does
We just gotta tell it, we just gotta tell it like it was
Tell it like it was
We just gotta tell it like it was
