Jeremiah - Bobbie Gentry

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 see 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
