God walked down in the cool of the day Called Adam by his name But he refused to answer ‘Cause he was naked and ashamed Well tell me who’s that writing? John the Revelator. Tell me who’s that writing? John. Who’s that writing? John the Revelator Wrote the Book of the Seven Seals Pharoah left out of Egypt Running God’s people down God’s folk crossed the Red Sea dry And Pharoah did drown Well tell me who’s that writing? John the Revelator. Tell me who’s that writing? John. Who’s that writing? John the Revelator Wrote the Book of the Seven Seals Christ had twelve apostles Three he led away Said, “Watch for me one hour” “While I go out yonder and pray.” Well tell me who’s that writing? John the Revelator. Tell me who’s that writing? John. Who’s that writing? John the Revelator Wrote the Book of the Seven Seals Well, Mary and Margaret, they were there, And they heard every word He said, Go tell my disciples To meet me in Galilee.

Run On 03:08
Run on for a long time Run on, ducking and dodging Run on for a long time But sooner or later, God'll cut you down Sooner or later God'll cut you down Well my goodness gracious, let me tell you the news My head's been wet with the Midnight dew I've been down on bended knee Talking to the man from Galilee He spoke to me in a voice so sweet I thought I heard the shuffle of angels' feet He spoke to me and my heart stood still When he said, "My son, go on and do my will." I want you to tell that long-tongued liar Tell that midnight rider Tell the Rambler, the gambler, the back-biter That sooner or later God'll cut 'em down Sooner or later God'll cut 'em down You can throw your rock and hide you hand Working in the dark against your fellow man But as sure as God made black and white What's done in the darkness will come back in the light Run onRun on for a long time Run on, ducking and dodging Run on for a long time But sooner or later, God'll cut you down Sooner or later God'll cut you down You can run on for a long time You can run on You can run on but He'll get you

Oh, Freedom! 02:41
Oh, freedom Oh, freedom Oh, freedom over me And before I'd be a slave I'd go on down and dig my grave And go home to my Lord and be free. No more weeping No more weeping No more weeping over me And before I'd be a slave I'd go on down and dig my grave And go home to my Lord and be free. No more moaning No more moaning No more moaning over me And before I'd be a slave I'd go on down and dig my grave And go home to my Lord and be free. There'll be singing There'll be singing There'll be singing over me And before I'd be a slave I'd go on down and dig my grave And go home to my Lord and be free.

Year of nineteen hundred and twelve, April the fourteenth day Great Titanic struck an iceberg, people had to run and pray People had to run and pray God moves on the water God moves on the water And the people had to run and pray The guards who had been a-watching, asleep 'cause they were tired When they heard the great excitement, then a gunshot was fired God moves on the water God moves on the water And the people had to run and pray Captain Smith gave orders, women and children first Many of the lifeboats piled right up, and the people they were liable to crush God moves on the water God moves on the water And the people had to run and pray Oh, Ah, Oh, Ah, So many had to leave their happy home, all that they possess Lord Jesus, will you hear us now, help us in our distress God moves on the water God moves on the water And the people had to run and pray A.G. Smith, mighty man, built a boat that he couldn't understand Named it a name, God in a tin, took it to sea but Lord pulled it in. God moves on the water God moves on the water And the people had to run and pray
