Revelation

Somewhere in VietNam a 19-year-old soldier walked out of a barroom

And he said I must be seeing things that bourbon hit me like a baseball bat

In Bellfast Ireland a little lady dropped her shovel in her garden

She raced across the yard and ask her neighbor Mrs Clancy what was that

In Memphis Tennessee a teacher raised the window closest the river

And the children in her classroom swore they`d heard a choir singing down the street

In Washington DC a private secretary`s lips began to quiver

And the President just put aside his papers and rose quickly to his feet

I lay in a cheap motel in the arms of someone else`s woman

When a loud explosion rocked the room and turned the morning into night

I jumped out of bed and ran into the street with hardly any clothes on

As the sky lit up my heart stood still and I could feel my face was turnin` white

All at once the clouds rolled back and there stood Jesus Christ in all his glory

And I realized the saddest eyes I`d ever seen were lookin` straight at me

I guess I was awakened by the penetrating sounds of my own screamin`

And it didn`t take me long to stumble out of bed and fall down on my knees

As tears rolled down my face I cried dear God I`m thankful I was only dreamin`

And if I never go to hell Lord it`ll be because you scared it out of me
