Roy Acuff - 144000 Lyrics

There's a book in the Bible twas writter by John

It's called Revelation the new light of dawn

And it tells of a kingdom he found in a prayer

And a hundred and forty four thousand were there



They were save from bandage and shackles of hurt

They were dressed in white robe and found a new word

They were true Christian mortals like you and like me

But a hundred and forty four thousand were free

[ harmonica ]

Just a hundred and forty four thousand to sing

And to shout hallelujah and praise to the king

Oh my brother be careful and never do wrong

And you may learn the words of that beautiful song



Every night to my Maker I solemnly pray

That my name will be added and someday there may

Be a hundred and forty four thousand and one

When I proved myself worthy for him to call son
