John the Revelator
Soul Influence Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Upon the Isle of patmus
One man was cast one day
As he was left alone to die

He began to pray
The Holy Ghost fell on him
The Spirit, he came down
Well he began to write about the things he saw

The revelator's name was john

(Talkin' 'bout) john the revelator he saw Jerusalem coming down
(I say john) john the revelator and when he looked around
He saw feet like brass eyes like fire
Heard a great voice saying come up higher
He was John the revelator
He wrote about the city of God

While in the Spirit praying
John turned around to see If the voice he had heard
Was what it seemed to be Just like many waters
A great trumpet sound
Well he said I am the first and last
The revelator wrote it down

(Talkin' 'bout) john the revelator he saw Jerusalem coming down
(Yes it was) john the revelator and when he looked around
He saw feet like brass eyes like fire
Heard a great voice saying come up higher
John the revelator
He wrote about the city of God

(Talkin' 'bout) john the revelator he saw Jerusalem coming down
(I say john) john the revelator and when he looked around
He saw feet like brass eyes like fire
Heard a great voice saying come up higher
John the revelator
He wrote about the city of God

(Talkin' 'bout) john the revelator he saw Jerusalem coming down
(I say john) john the revelator and when he looked around
He saw feet like brass eyes like fire
Heard a great voice saying come up higher
John the revelator
He wrote about the city of God

(Talkin' 'bout) john the revelator he saw Jerusalem coming down
(Yes it was) john the revelator and when he looked around
He saw feet like brass eyes like fire
Heard a great voice saying come up higher
He was John the revelator
He wrote about the city of God

John the revelator
He wrote about the city of God

John the revelator
He wrote about the city of God
