"Billy And Rex And Oral And Bob" lyrics

Billy And Rex And Oral And Bob

Ordained for proclaiming
The gospel of Jesus
The great super preachers
Go crusading on

And the people all gather
In big congregations
They hear of the Saviour
Who came to atone

And they kneel at the altar
And they walk away happy
Then the devil starts gossip
About money and sex

Making it hard
On the good men of God
Like Billy and Bob
And Oral and Rex

Old Billy Sunday is dead and gone
Young Jim Robertson's coming on strong
And Billy and Rex
And Oral and Bob
Are talking about Jesus
And doing their job

Millions of people
Tune in Katherine Coolman
And see her face shine
With an unearthly light

Garner Ted warns of
The world of tomorrow
But they criticized him
And the reverend died

Cause the devil is after
The great super preachers
He'd try to discredit
The gospel they bring

But Billy and Rex
And Oral and Bob
Hold to their commitment
To Jesus the King

Old Billy Sunday is dead and gone
Young Tommy Barnett is coming on strong
And Billy and Rex
And Oral and Bob
Are talking about Jesus
And doing their job

Old Billy Sunday is dead and gone
Young Jimmy Snow is coming on strong
And Billy and Rex
And Oral and Bob
Are talking about Jesus
And doing their job
