You can read it in the morning papers
Hear it on the radio
How crime is a-sweeping our nation
This world is about to go

We need a good old case of salvation
To keep the love of God in our souls
We need a whole lot more of Jesus
And a lot less rock and roll

We need more old fashioned preachers
Pouring out their hearts in prayer
'Cause when you're in their presence
Why you know that the Lord is there

Hallelujah, brethren (Hallelujah reverend)

We need a nationwide revival
To keep the love of God in our souls
We need a whole lot more of Jesus
And a lot less rock and roll
We need a whole lot more of Jesus
And a lot less rock and roll
Amen

Will you all be seated now?
