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 fell on him

The Spirit, he came down

Well, 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



(Repeat last verse twice)
