[Pre-Chorus] 'Round about the mountain 'Round about the mountain My God is waitin' You can rise in His arms 'Round about the mountain 'Round about the mountain My God is waitin' You can rise in His arms [Chorus] The Lord loves a sinner The Lord loves a sinner man The Lord loves a sinner Who will rise in His arms [Verse 1] I would not be a sinner Tell you the reason why If the Lord should want me I would not be ready to die [Verse 2] I tell you, fellow members Things happen mighty strange The Lord was good to Israel And His ways don't ever change [Chorus] The Lord loves a sinner The Lord loves a sinner man The Lord loves a sinner Who will rise in His arms [Verse 3] Sometimes I feel discouraged And think my work's in vain But then the Holy Spirit Revives my soul again [Verse 4] If you can't pray like Peter If you can't preach like Paul Go home and tell your neighbors That He died to save us all [Chorus] The Lord loves a sinner The Lord loves a sinner man The Lord loves a sinner Who will rise in His arms [Pre-Chorus] 'Round about the mountain 'Round about the mountain My God is waitin' You can rise in His arms [Chorus] The Lord loves a sinner The Lord loves a sinner man The Lord loves a sinner Who will rise in His arms
