Chorus:
The Lord says it’s time to start walkin’
The Lord says it’s time to get on board
The Lord says it’s time to start walkin’
I’m walkin’ for the Lord for evermore.

Verse 1:
It was down in Louisiana when I got saved
That Baptist preacher took me by the hand
Led me down to the water and put me under
And Jesus washed away my sins.

Lord says it’s time that I started walkin’
It’s time for me to get on board
Jesus said it’s time for me to start walkin’
I’m walking for the Lord for evermore.

Verse 2:
I couldn’t help avoid those evil ways
The bottle and the girls they came my way
Temptation and weakness pulled me down
Till Jesus whispered, let’s get away.

Lord it’s time we all started walkin’
It’s time we all got on board
The Lord said it’s time to start walkin’
I’m walking for the Lord for evermore

Verse 3:
But now I’m back home in Louisiana
Lookin’ for that Baptist preacher today
Take me down to water and put me under
And wash away my sins once again.
