Lyrics

Atomic Power

[Intro]

One, two, three

[Verse 1]

Do you fear this man's invention that they call atomic power?

Are we all in great confusion? Do we know the time or hour

When a terrible explosion may rain down upon our land

Leaving horrible destruction blotting out the works of man?

[Chorus]

Are you, are you ready for that great atomic power?

Will you rise and meet your Savior in the air?

Will you shout or will you cry

When the fire rains from on high?

Are you ready for that great atomic power?

[Verse 2]

There is one way to escape: be prepared to meet the Lord

When the mushroom of destruction falls, there is a shielding sword

He will surely stand beside you and you'll never taste of death

For your soul will fly to safety and eternal peace and rest

[Chorus]

Are you, are you ready for that great atomic power?

Will you rise and meet your Savior in the air?

Will you shout or will you cry

When the fire rains from on high?

Are you ready for that great atomic power?
