When the Hand of God Comes Down
Oh when the hand of God comes down with fire from Heaven on high
It'll be too late to pray
When Gabriel blows his trumpet for the very last sound
Where you gonna hide then sinner when the hand of God comes down
We're living in the atomic age and troubled times are here
The radio and magazines, the stories bring us fear
The one and only recipe for lasting peace is found
Just watch and pray until the day when the hand of God comes down
Oh when the hand of God comes down with fire from Heaven on high
It'll be too late to pray
When Gabriel blows his trumpet for the very last sound
Where you gonna hide then sinner when the hand of God comes down
Many ride the devil's train his wicked ways they choose
They'll rob and steal, beg and kill and say I'll never lose
But listen friend there is an end when present time are wound (?)
And did you know you're gonna reap what you sow when the hand of God comes down
Oh when the hand of God comes down with fire from Heaven on high
It'll be too late to pray
When Gabriel blows his trumpet for the very last sound
Where you gonna hide then sinner when the hand of God comes down
Upon the Bible's holy pages words are written there
They tell about these darkened days in which we're living now
Many shun the word of God, no time to pray is found
But by and by somebody's gonna cry when the hand of God comes down
Oh when the hand of God comes down with fire from Heaven on high
It'll be too late to pray
When Gabriel blows his trumpet for the very last sound
Where you gonna hide then sinner when the hand of God comes down
