Last Daze Waltz

People thought Noah had done flipped out

They said, "Look at the cat with the boat

Why, we're miles from water

And there's no signs of showers

How d'you think that thing's gonna float?"

"Well", Noah said, "man, you can ride with me

Just turn from your wicked ways"

You know it started to rain

The boat began to float

They knew they lost their last hope

Justice had its day

There's no man knows the hour or the day

But we know that He's coming soon

So don't think you're cool

Or that you're doing so good

Unless you're ready for the Lord's return

Ah, Jesus come fast, you know the world can't last

We're gonna wipe ourselves off the map, uh-huh

Don't let Him catch you when you're fast asleep

Or even when you're taking a nap

Oh, no snoozin' now!

Whoo!

Yeah, Samson had the strength of a thousand men

You know the strength lied in his hair

Along came Delilah with the crew-cut style

They said Samson had something rare

Oh, first thing you know he lost his eyes

Yes, the poor boy was made a slave

Unless you want to be a slave unto yourself

You better get right with God

Let Jesus have His way, yeah!

I said, there's no man knows the hour or the day

But we know that He's coming soon

So don't think you're cool

Or that you're doing so good

Unless you're ready for the Lord's return

I said Jesus comes fast

You know the world can't last

We're gonna wipe ourselves off the map, uh-huh

Don't let Him catch you when you're fast asleep

Or even when you're taking a nap

Oh, eyes wide open, now!

Straight ahead!

Ooh, now you better get ready

To meet your Maker

Don't you keep on shining Him on

Well Ali and Frazier, that was quite a fight

But wait until Armageddon

Yeah, there'll be flashes of lightning

Peals of thunder

Sounds like you never heard

And if you want to read about tomorrow today

I tell you, brother, it's all there in God's Word

Yes it is

And if you want to read about tomorrow today

I tell you, brother, it's all there in God's Word
