(Billy Walker - Bill Carlisle - arr. Lortetta Lynn - F. Heighton)

Standing room only not even room to kneel and pray
|
Standing room only on the Judgement Day
|
Last night I have an awful dream that the end of time had come
|
The trumpet had been sounded and life on earth has done
|
An angel stood one foot on land the other foot on sea
|
And as I tried to kneel and pray a voice said unto me
|
There's standing room only it's too late now to pray
|
There's standing room only this is the Judgement Day
|
People filled each church and churchyard just as far as I could see
|
I heard the pityful cry for mercy and then I realized it was me
|
I saw the Saviour did appear as he split the eastern sky
|
I saw tears of joy on a Christian's face and I heard the sinners cry
|
And as I tried to touch his hand with one last people plea
|
I cried again have mercy have mercy Lord on me
|
I saw a cheer come to his eye as he turned my soul away
|
I didn't know him yesterday and he knew me not today
|
The earth was burning all around the world wound up in smoke
|
And as the flames came off me thank God I awoke
|
Then I got out of bed and got down on my knees and you should've heard me pray
|
For in my dream I witnessed God's great Judgement Day
|
Standing room only on God's great Judgement Day
