THE OAK RIDGE BOYS
"Jesus Take A Hold"

Like the ancient Roman empire this world is doomed to fall
And it's just too big a thing for mortal man
Just take a look around and see the writing on the wall
Somehow we've got to find a helping hand

This world has never been in the awful shape it's in
People scorn the things our leaders do
And it's time a prayer was spoken from the heart of every man
Yeah Jesus take a hold and lead us through

Oh the mighty roar of gunfire is now a local sound
And our city streets are filled with angry men
Love is now a mockery throughout our troubled land
And destruction seems to be the current trend

This world has never been in the awful shape it's in
Our leaders seem in doubt of what to do
And it's time a prayer was spoken from the heart of every man
Yeah Jesus take a hold and lead us through
