Countdown To Paradise
(lyrics Karl Allison/music Alvin Allison)
Jesus said the world would end before too very long.
He didn’t know when - so how can we ? But people get it wrong.
They say that we’re doing bad and the world’s in an awful state
But Jesus will return to Earth - who cares about the date ?
We’re on a countdown to Paradise
How can you be scared ?
I don’t know when the world will end
And I don’t really care.
People think they know it all - they say the end is near.
They know the month, the day, the hour but they know it every year.
Predictions here, predictions there - every century.
If Jesus didn’t know the date - how on earth can we ?
We’re on a countdown to Paradise
How can you be scared ?
I don’t know when the world will end
And I don’t really care.
I know people who are scared because He will return.
You can cast out fear by knowing Him - but they don’t ever learn.
I say that I know I will be happy at the end
‘Cos Jesus will return to Earth - and Jesus is my friend.
We’re on a countdown to Paradise
How can you be scared ?
I don’t know when the world will end
And I don’t really care.
