Revelation lyrics

Artist  : Joe Nichols 
Song : Revelation



 Send "Revelation" Ringtone to your Cell 

 Somewhere in Vietnam

a nineteen year old soldier stumbled from a bar
room

he said I must be seeing things

that bourbon hit me like a baseball bat



In Belfast, Ireland a little lady dropped her
shovel in her garden

as she raced across her yard to ask her neighbor
Mrs. Clancy

"what was that?"



In Memphis, Tennesse a teacher raised the window
closest to the river

and the children in her classroom swore they
heard a choir singin down the street



In Washington, D.C. a private secretary's lips
began to quiver

and the President just put aside some 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

and as the sky lit up my heart stood still and I
could feel my face turn 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 sound
of my own screaming

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 dreaming.

If I never go to hell Lord its because you scared
it out of me."
