Been Listening All the Day Lyrics

Dark was the night and cold the ground
On which my Lord was laid
His sweat like drops of blood ran down
In agony he prayed

Been a-listening all the night long
Oh, listening all the day
A-listening all the night long
To hear some sinner pray

Been a-listening all the night long
Oh, listening all the day
A-listening all the night long
Hear some sinner pray

Father, remove this bitter cup
If that's Thy sacred will
If not, content to drink it up
Pleasures I fulfill

Been a-listening all the night long
Oh, listening all the day
Been a-listening all night long
Hear some sinner pray

A-listening all the night long
Oh, listening all the day
Been a-listening all the night long
Hear some sinner pray

Now, some say John, he's a Baptist
Oh, he's nothing but a Jew
But the Holy Bible tell us
John was a preacher too

Been a-listening all the night long
Oh, listening all the day
Been a-listening all the night long
Hear some sinner pray

A-listening all the night long
Oh, listening all the day
Been a-listening all the night long
Hear some sinner pray

Now, a Man, he came from Heaven
Oh, and camped upon the ground
And whence He sound the trumpet
Holy love come down

Been a-listening all the night long
Oh, listening all the day
Been a-listening all the night long
Hear some sinner pray

A-listening all the night long
Oh, listening all the day
Been a-listening all the night long
To hear some sinner pray

Been a-listening all the night long
Oh, listening all the day
Been a-listening all the night long
To hear some sinner pray

A-listening all the night long
Oh, listening all the day
Was a-listening all the night long
Hear some sinner pray
