Now ya better get ready, cause I m tellin ya why
Cause Jesus is a commin' from His throne on high.
Many are the weary and lonely sad,
They gonna wish they hadn't done the things that they had,
How ya gonna feel about the things you'll say
On that judgement day.
Everyone's gonna have religion in his glory,
Everone's gonna be a singing that story,
Everyone's gonna have A Wonderful Time Up There

Better get ya ready cause I'm givin' you the warnin'

Listen to me you sisters, we re not leaving you out
Ya may not be a preacher, but you sing and you shout,
What s the use of worryin' if you ve been redeemed?
That s even better than you might of dreamed.
Think about the trouble you could save some souls
Tell 'em what to do to reach the shining goal
Surely you can show them how to find the light
Make them be where things are right.
Everyone's gonna have religion in his glory,
Everone's gonna be a singing that story,
Everyone's gonna have A Wonderful Time Up There
Brother, there s a reckonin' a comin in the mornin'
Better get ya ready cause I'm givin' you the warnin'
Everybody's gonna have A Wonderful Time
Get your Holy Bible. In the back of the Book,
Book of Revelations is the place you must look.
If you understand it, and you can if you try,

Readin' in the Bible, all the things that He said
Said He was a comin' back to raise the dead.
Are ya gonna be among the chosen few?
Will you make it through?
Everyone's gonna have religion in his glory,
Everone's gonna be a singing that story,
Everyone's gonna have A Wonderful Time Up There
Brother, there s a reckonin' a comin in the mornin'
Better get ya ready cause I'm givin' you the warnin'
Everybody's gonna have A Wonderful Time
Everyone s gonna have A Wonderful Time Up There.
