A Wonderful Time Up There

(album: Pat Boone Sings - 1959)

Well, now, 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
The Lord is the only one to carry you through
Ya better get ready 'cause I'm telling ya why
The Lord is a-coming from his throne on high

Going down the valley, going one by one
We're gonna be rewarded for the things we've done
How ya gonna feel about the things you'll say
On that judgment day?

Well-a, well-a, well-a
Well, now, 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 ya get your Holy Bible in the back of the book
The book of Revelations is the place ya look
If you understand it and you can if you try
The Lord is a-coming from his throne on high

A-reading in the Bible 'bout the things he said
He said he's coming back again to raise the dead
Are ya gonna be among the chosen few?
Or will you make it through?

Well-a, well-a, well-a
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 coming in the morning
Better get ready 'cause I'm giving you the warning
Everybody's gonna have a wonderful time up there

Well-a, well-a, well-a
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
