Revelation

Somewhere in Vietnam a nineteen year old soldier stumbled from a bar room he said I must be seeing things that bourbon hit me like a baseball bat In Belfast, Ireland a little lady dropped her shovel in her garden as she raced across her yard to ask her neighbor Mrs. Clancy "what was that?" In Memphis, Tennessee a teacher raised the window closest to the river and the children in her classroom swore they heard a choir singin down the street In Washington, D.C. a private secretary's lips began to quiver and the President just put aside some papers and rose quickly to his feet I lay in a cheap motel in the arms of someone else's woman when a loud explosion rocked the room and turned the morning into night I jumped out of bed and ran into the street with hardly any clothes on and as the sky lit up my heart stood still and I could feel my face turn white All at once the clouds rolled back and there stood Jesus Christ in all his glory and I realized the saddest eyes I'd ever seen were lookin straight at me
