lyrics

I went preaching
Saying the kingdom was at hand
I cast out devils and I raised up the dead
I gave freely and freely I received

But doubt came creeping
Doubt came creeping

I emptied my purse of silver and gold
I took just a staff, my shoes, and coat
I was a workman worthy of my mead
I brought peace to a worthy house
and shook the dust off from unworthy towns
I feared the killers of the spirit
but not the killers in the crowd

Then doubt came creeping
Wrapping fingers around my heart
Doubt came creeping
Wrapping me in its warm arms

I did as I was told
I sewed unrest within households
And like two sparrows
I was bought and I was sold
I screamed to heaven
for my profit and reward
I called out to heaven
for my profit and reward
But the sky it was silent...
a soup of blue

And doubt came creeping
Wrapping fingers around my heart
Doubt came creeping
Wrapping me in its warm arms

I went preaching
But doubt came creeping
