You Can't Do Wrong and Get By

1 There’s a God who’s stand­ing at hea­ven’s door,
He’s look­ing this uni­verse o’er;
And He sees each mor­tal with a search­ing eye,
You can’t do wrong and get by.

Chorus:
You can’t do wrong and get by,
No mat­ter how hard you may try;
Nothing hid­den can be, ev'rything He doth see,
You can’t do wrong and get by.

2 Out in­to the dark­ness you alone may go,
And seeds for the wick­ed one sow;
There's an eye is watch­ing from the throne on high,
You can’t do wrong and get by. [Chorus]

3 Yes, He knows your sec­rets, ev­'ry­thing you do;
He knows that your life is un­true;
You can ne’er de­ceive Him, there’s no use to try,
You can’t do wrong and get by. [Chorus]
