the job is never done - the reverend shawn amos lyrics

percival montgomery
came from new orleans
he was the third or fourth generation
of a certain family tree

percival’s granddaddy
used to take him by his hand
he said,” hold onto your conscience, boy
as long as you can”

you’ve got to piece together the story
one by one
because the job is never over
the job is never done

piece together the story
one by one
because the job is never over
the job is never done

in 1835
the baptists came alive
when the pressure of the politics
made them move to the other side

one preacher faced the congregation
looked them in his eye
he told them, “hold onto your conscience, folks
as long as you’re alive
you’ve got to piece together the story
one by one
because the job is never over
the job is never done

piece together the story
one by one
because the job is never over
the job is never done

sooner than later
you’ll be feeling like a traitor
when you’re pulling up another alibi

and if you now defend
what you would yesterday amend
it might be real wise to realize
that things are going wrong

you’ve got to piece together the story
one by one
because the job is never over
the job is never done

piece together the story
one by one
because the job is never over
the job is never done
the job is never over, people
the job is never, ever done
