Repeat Chorus:
Now you get your Holy Bible, in the back of the book,
The book of Revelations is the place you look.
If you understand it, and you can if you try,
The Lord is a-comin' from His throne on high.
A-readin' in the Bible all the things He said,
He said He's comin' back again to raise the dead.
Are you gonna be among the chosen few?
Will you make it through?
