Tell  me, who’s that writing? (John the revelator)
Tell  me, who’s that writing, (John the revelator)
Now  tell me, who’s that writing, (John the revelator)
He wrote  the book of the seven seals
God  walked down the hill one day
Called  Adam by his name
Adam  wouldn’t answer
Cause  he was naked and ashamed
 (Chorus)
You  know, Christ had twelve apostles (Spirit willing)
Three  He led away (Oh but the flesh was weak)
He  said watch with Me while I walk
While  I go yonder and pray
For  Christ rose on Easter morning, (Hallelujah)
Mary  and Martha came down to see (The resurrection)
He  said go and tell my disciples
To meet  Me in Galilee
 (Chorus)
