In the city where lights don't glow
Many things go undisclosed
Man's desire reigns as king
Pull up a chair with your selfish things
Eyes covered, ears closed but you don't want to hear
I don't want to hear you say OH MY, OH MY
(chorus)
Pretty soon every knee will bow at the name of the Father and name of the Son
You can bet your last dollar that that day will come
Gold stacked high won't do it's best
Unless, unless, unless your little tongue confess
Jesus Christ is the King of Kings
In the city where lights don't glow
The void is never filled
Consumables are bought and sold but wounds are never healed
Eyes covered, ears closed but you don't want to hear
I don't want to hear you say OH MY, OH MY,
(chorus)
Pretty soon every knee will bow at the name of the Father and name of the Son
You can bet your last dollar that that day will come
Gold stacked high won't do it's best
Unless, unless, unless your little tongue confess
Jesus Christ is the King of Kings
Get Ready, Get Ready, Get Ready Because
Can't you see the clouds roll back, like a scroll
Can't hear the trump begin to sound
Can't you see the clouds roll back, like a scroll
I think I do
(chorus)
Pretty soon every knee will bow at the name of the Father and name of the Son
You can bet your last dollar that that day will come
Gold stacked high won't do it's best
Unless, unless, unless your little tongue confess
Jesus Christ is the King of Kings
Gold stacked high won't do it's best
Unless, unless, unless your little tongue confess
Jesus Christ is the King of Kings
Get Ready, Get Ready, Get Ready Because
