[Verse 1]

You've got to learn real history:

Oldest man in Bible times

Name was called Methuselah

Was nine hundred and sixty-nine

[Verse 2]

We had some guys come close

Almost ran for a thousand yards

Didn't quit 'til they got buried

They should've known -- it's just too hard

[Chorus 1]

Oh, when we look back now

Those fellas seemed to live forever

Genesis chapter 5

Yeah, you oughta run and read there

Those men were blessed with such long lives

[Turnaround]

Hey!

[Verse 3]

Ain't no use in explainin'

When the godless mock the Truth

Them hyenas howl at the Bible

And that's the fountain of youth -- yeah

[Chorus 2]

Standin' knockin' on your door

The Lord says you could live forever

Ohh, can't you tell, my friend?

I do believe it's now or never

These are the last days of your life

Oh-oo yeah!

That should be somethin' that sticks in your mind

Ohhhh!

[Bridge]

Maybe there still is time

But the young forget that they need eternal life

To get somethin' that lasts forever

Forever, oh!

Yeah!

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 4]

And all the time we're agin'

Look at every wrinkle comin' on

Some guys will not make it over 60

Think about that while I close this song

[Chorus 3]

Standin' knockin' on your door

He told you how to live forever

Ohh, when you will not bend

Hebrews said it was now or never

These are the last days of your life

Oh-oo yeah!

That should be somethin' that sticks in your mind

Uh-huh!

[Outro]

That should be somethin' that sticks in your mind

Ohh-oo yeah

Hebrews 3:7, 8, and 15 find

Ohhhhh! Hey

And verse 4:7 -- discover some of those nifty lines

Hey!

Wow! Hoh!
