Lyrics
The Earth is in a blaze
The world is in a maze
The way of life today
Is strange and odd
What happen across the sea
May come to you and me
Oh, come, let us go back to God
Go back to God
Oh, come on (Let's go back to God)
Let us go back (Let's go back to God)
Come on (Let's go back to God)
Let us go back (Let's go back to God)
I know the way (Let's go back to God)
Without my Lord (Let's go back to God)
Mighty hard (Let's go back to God)
Oh, yes (Let's go back to God)
That I know death has (Let's go back to God)
Marked the path (Let's go back to God)
Yes, death has marked (Let's go back to God)
A path we trod (Let's go back to God)
Come on, yes (Let's go back to God)
Let us go back (Let's go back to God)
Go back to God (Let's go back to God)
There's trouble in the air
Destruction is everywhere
And men are being trapped
Beneath the soil
And nation, great and small
Have not begun to fall
Oh, come, let us go back to God
Go back to God
