Another rare demo that is not one of his better known unreleased songs. This should serve as a warning to people who are living in sin and do not know God to come to know God and follow Christ. Like the hymn goes, do not be unprepared to meet thy God.
Lyrics:
Somewhere in Vietnam, a 19-year old soldier stumbles from a bar room,
And he said, “I must be seein’ things. That bourbon hit me like a baseball bat.
In Belfast, Ireland, a little lady dropped her shovel in the garden,
And raced across her yard an’ asked her neighbor, Mrs. Clancy, “What was that?”
In Memphis, Tennessee, a teacher raised a 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 begin to quiver,
And the President laid down a stack of papers and rose quickly to his feet.
I lay in a cheap motel makin’ love to 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 streets with hardly any clothes on.
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 looking 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 cheeks, I said, “Dear God, I’m thankful I was only dreamin’.
If I never go to hell, LORD, it’ll be because you’ve scared it out of me.”
