[Verse 1]
I see the sign of the judgment (Yes)
Jesus said that it would be (Yes)
I see the sign of the fig tree
Yes, Lord, time is drawing nigh
[Verse 2]
If you read Saint Matthew (Yes)
In the 24th chapter (Yes)
You'll see the sign of the judgment
Yes, Lord, time is drawing nigh
[Interlude: Ernia Mae Cunningham]
Don't we see the signs every day, my brothers and sisters? We see the sign because God said before the end of time there would be wars and rumors of war, said that before thе end of time that men would go against onе another, that children would go against their parents, that mothers and fathers would go against their children, and don't we see those signs every day, my brothers? Now we wanna stop right here and ask Brother Albert [?] to please lead us in a word of prayer; play it with us, Brother [?].
[Prayer: Unknown Speaker]
This evening, our heavenly Father, we bow before Thee [?], to have mercy upon us, give Thy holy and everlasting will. And my Father in heaven, I ask you to guide me [?] another. My Father, I ask you to bless me from one day into another. My Father in heaven, I ask you to go with me on my journey, I pray Thee. I ask you to take care of me in my undertaking, I pray Thee. And my Father in heaven, I ask you to go with the gambling man, I pray Thee, and the dancing woman. And my Father in heaven, I ask you to guide us along the sad lines of duty, I pray Thee. And my Father in heaven, I ask you to go with me from one night unto another. I ask you, my Father, to bless my home, bless each and everyone of us. I ask you, Lord, to bless my mother, give Thy holy and everlasting will. And my Father in heaven, when I'm done and can't do no more, I ask you to give me [?], amen.
[Verse 3]
Don't you hear God talking? (Yes)
He is talking in the thunder (Yes)
He's got the people on the wonderin'
Yes, Lord, time is drawing nigh
[Verse 3]
Don't you hear God talking? (Yes)
He is talking in the lightning (Yes)
He's got the people on the wonderin'
Yes, Lord, time is drawing nigh
[Verse 4]
There's the coming of the fireflood (Yes)
And the stars will be falling (Yes)
Moon dripping blood
Yes, Lord, time is drawing nigh
[Verse 1]
You see the signs of the judgment (Yes)
Jesus said that it would be (Yes)
I see the sign of the fig tree
Yes, Lord, time is drawing nigh
[Verse 2]
If you read Saint Matthew (Yes)
In the 24th chapter (Yes)
You'll see the sign of the judgment
Yes, Lord, time is drawing nigh
[Verse 3]
Don't you hear God talking? (Yes)
He is talking in the thunder (Yes)
He's got the people on the wonderin'
Yes, Lord, time is drawing nigh
