Bobbie Gentry - Jeremiah lyrics

Jeremiah, maybe I have seen eternity Right out loud the distant clouds have talked to me Jeremiah tell me how you came to prophesy Can you seen the second coming in the sky 'Cause I've been here and you've been there and glory's all around Have you heard the story that is goin' down Fame and fortune, fun and folly, friend and family Is a still life real, or is it fantasy Jeremiah, I think you're a favorite man Take me on a journey through your sanctified land There's so many people who just won't understand Jeremiah, won't you tell me all that you can? Don't wanna bear the burden of Lucifer's curse He just wants to keep us from our sweet Lord's mercy Jeremiah, tell us where do we stand? Tell all the people that blessed story Amazing grace, oh precious glory Jeremiah, oh Jeremiah Jeremiah, tell us all that you can 'Cause I've been here and you've been there and glory's all around Have you heard the story that is going down Fame and fortune, fun and folly, friend and family Is a still life real, or is it fantasy Oh, Jeremiah, I think you're my favorite man Take me on a journey through your sanctified land There's so many people who just don't understand Jeremiah, won't you tell me all that you can? Everybody's got the lord to love and cherish The good's gonna live and the bad's gonna perish Jeremiah, tell us where do we stand? Carry good tidings from the gospel pages Stand up, stand up on the rock of ages Jeremiah, oh Jeremiah Jeremiah, tell us all that you can Not for blessings, nor worldly pleasure Nor for fame my prayer shall be There's a better life I'm sure of Oh, just show my lord to me and I can see, oh! Tell me can you se that blessed fountain Flowin' on down from Calvary's mountain Jeremiah, tell us where do we stand? Send the word to the fallen nation Light the way to the people's salvation Let us have a closer walk 'n Let us hear the spirit talkin' Make the children understand Lead the people onward to the promised land And tell us all, all that you can
