Even though, I wasn't bold   I didn't doubt the Lord   I didn't know what to think when He came   And said, Speak to them all my words   But my Lord, I speak so horribly   And i feel like I'm far to young   Somebody else should take my place   You know that God told me to move along   Whoa! Be bold, Jeremiah   Don't let them see you are afraid   Whoa! Be bold, Jeremiah   Let them hear what I've got to say   Prophesied to all my friends and foes   Prophesied to people I'd just met   They all threw me out and said go away   It might be 'cause I prophesied their destruction   But my Lord keeps callin' me back there   As i get on with servin' my sentence   Prophesyin'- got tears in my eyes   You know that God said, Go and tell them all to    Get repentant   CHORUS   Dungeon bound they threw me in the ground   Until the king pulled me out   I've got to keep on preachin' on   They all said, Big deal, he's a prisoner now!   And I'm hopin' for some visitation   You know but I can surely see   That I don't want to get cut off whenever    Punishment's comin' down on this city   CHORUS   Be bold, Jeremiah- Carry the news I spoke   Be bold, Jeremiah- And prepare them for Babylon
