Lyrics

Standing room only
Not even room to kneel and pray
Standing room only
On the judgment day

Last night I had an awful dream
That the end of time had come
The trumpets had been sounded
And life on earth was done

An angel stood one foot on land
The other foot on sea
And as I tried to kneel and pray....
A voice said unto me

"There's standing room only
It's too late now to pray
There's standing room only
This is the judgment day."

People filled each church and church yard
Just as far as I could see
I heard a pitiful cry for mercy
And then I realized it was me
I saw the savior then appear
As he split the eastern sky

I saw tears of joy on a christian's face
And I heard the sinners cry
And as I tried to touch his hand
With one last feeble plea
I cried again ... "have mercy
Have mercy lord on me."

I saw a tear come to his eye
As he turned my soul away
I didn't know him yesterday
And he knew me not today....

The earth was burning all around
The world went up in smoke
And as the flames engulfed me
Thank god, I awoke

Then I got out of bed, and got down on my knees
And you should have heard me pray
For in my dream I witnessed
God's great judgment day

Standing room only
On god's great judgment day..
