  A#                          D#
Ordained for proclaimin' the gospel of Jesus
     A#                                F
The great super preachers go crusadin' on
         A#                   D#
And the people all gather in big congregations
      A#                      F        A#  A#7
They hear of the Saviour who came to atone

          D#                          A#
And they kneel at the altar and they walk away
happy then the devil starts
                        F
gossip about money and sex
A#                     D#
Makin' it hard on the good men of
          A#               F         A# A#7
God like Billy and Bob and Oral and Rex

Chorus:
D#                   A#
Old Billy Sunday is dead and gone
A#                                 F
Young Jim Robertson's comin' on strong
    A#                D#
And Billy and Rex and Oral and Bob
    A#                       F           A#
Are talkin' about Jesus and doin' 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

Chorus - x2
