Upon the Isle of Patmos A man was cast one day As he was left alone to die He began to pray The Holy Ghost fell on him The Spirit, he came down Well he began to write about the things he saw The Revelator's name was John (Talkin' 'bout John) John the revelator He saw Jerusalem coming down (Yes it was John) John the Revelator And when he looked around He saw feet like brass Eyes like fire Heard a great voice saying "Come up higher" (He was John) John the Revelator He wrote about the city of God While in the Spirit praying John turned around to see If the voice he had heard Was what it seemed to be Just like many waters A great trumpet sound Well he said "I am the first and last" The Revelator wrote it down (Talkin' 'bout John) John the revelator He saw Jerusalem coming down (Yes it was John) John the Revelator And when he looked around He saw feet like brass Eyes like fire Heard a great voice saying "Come up higher" (He was John) John the Revelator He wrote about the city of God (I said it was John) John the revelator He saw Jerusalem coming down (Yes it was John) John the Revelator And when he looked around He saw feet like brass Eyes like fire Heard a great voice saying "Come up higher" (He was John) John the Revelator He wrote about the city of God (I'm talkin' 'bout John) John the revelator He saw Jerusalem coming down, oh yes He did (Yes it was John) John the Revelator And when he looked around He saw feet like brass Eyes like fire Heard a great voice saying "Come up higher" (He was John) John the Revelator He wrote about the city of God
