Up on the isle of Patmus A man was cast one day As he was left alone to die He began to pray The Holy Ghost came on him The Spirit, he came down He began to write about the things he saw The revelators' name was John (Talkin' 'bout John) John the Revelator He saw Jerusalem comin' down (Yes, it was John) John the Revelator And when he looked around He saw feet like brass Eyes like fire Heard a great voice sayin' "Come up higher!" (It was John) John the Revelator He wrote about the city of God While in the spirit prayin' John turned around to see If the voice he had heard Was what it seemed to be Just like the many waters A great trumpet sound Well He said, "I am the first and last." The revelator wrote it down (Talkin' 'bout John) John the Revelator He saw Jerusalem comin' down (Yes, it was John) John the Revelator And when he looked around He saw feet like brass Eyes like fire Heard a great voice sayin' "Come up higher!" (It was John) John the Revelator He wrote about the city of God And when he looked around He saw feet like brass Eyes like fire Heard a great voice sayin' "Come up higher!" (It was John) John the Revelator He wrote about the city of God
