Lyrics
Do It Now! Jack Dukes
You can't take it with you but you can send it on ahead;
All the love your heart has felt, all the good your soul has bred.
All the pain you have relieved, all the tears you've wiped away,
All the strangers you have helped, all the kids you taught to pray.
Chorus:
Strike while the iron is hot, hot, hot
Jesus is the master, the Devil is not.
Forgiveness is the message not punishment and pain
Peace and loving kindness is the name of his game.
The old order of things is passing away.
Life has found a better way.
Put your feet on the floor, put your hand on the door
Move On! Move on! Move on!
Chorus:
Strike while the iron is hot, hot, hot,
Jesus is the master, the Devil is not.
Forgiveness is the message, not punishment and pain,
Peace and loving kindness is the name of his game.
Your soul goes to Heaven faster than you die;
It's happening now with every blink of your eye.
Eternity happens one day at a time
If you wait 'til you die, you'll be too late again.
Chorus:
Strike while the iron is hot, hot, hot,
Jesus is the master, the Devil is not.
Forgiveness is the message, not punishment and pain,
Peace and loving kindness is the name of his game.
