Wonderful Time Up There Lyrics

Everybody's gonna have religion and glory
Everybody's gonna be a singing that story
Everybody's gonna have a wonderful time up there
Oh glory hallelujah

Brother there's a reckoning a coming in the morning
Better get ready cause I'm giving you the warning
Everybody's gonna have a wonderful time up there

Now listen everybody cause I'm talking to you
Gee is the only one to carry you through
Now you better get ready for I'm telling you why
Gee is a coming from his throne on high

Many are weary and alone and sad
They're gonna wish they hadn't done the things they had
How're you gonna feel about the things He'll say
on that judgement day

Now Listen here my sister we're not leaving you out
You may not be a preacher but you sing and shout
Whats the use to worry if you've been redeemed
cause Heavens even better than a miser dreamed

Think about the trouble you could save some soul
Tell them what to do to reach the shining goal
surely you can show them how to find the Light
make the whole thing right

Now When the tribulations seem to darken the way
Thats the time to get down on your knees and pray
Everybody gonna have their troubles too
Gotta be so careful bout the things we do

We're going down the valley, going one by one
Gonna be rewarded for the things we've done
When we get to heaven and the promised land
Then we'll understand

Now get your Holy Bible in the back of the book
The book of Revelation thats the place you must look
If you understand it and you can if you try
Jesus is a comin from His throne on high

Readin in the Bible all the things that He said
Said He was a comin back to raise the dead
Are you gonna be among the chosen few
Will you make it through
