Lyrics
Well then, I, John, he saw a mighty number
Way up in the middle of the air
Well, I, John, he saw a mighty number
Way in the middle of the air
Got to mighty move, that I, John, he saw mighty number
Way up in the middle of the air
Well, I, John, he saw a mighty number
Way in the middle of the air
Well, there were three gates in the East
Three gates in the West
Three gates in the North
Three gates in the South
12 gates to the city
All square wide, hallelujah
Got to mighty move, that I, John, he saw mighty number
Way up in the middle of the air
Well, I, John, he saw a mighty number
Way in the middle of the air
Got to mighty move, that I, John, he saw mighty number
Way up in the middle of the air
Well, I, John, he saw a mighty number
Way in the middle of the air
Oh, John declared, that he saw man
He had 12 bright stars in his right hand
When his eyes flashed fire like a burning sun
Oh, John got scared, and he wanted to run
Well he wanted to run, but his feet wouldn't go
'Cause he felt the gospel cutting like a two-edged sword
And he heard a voice, that said John take a look
And read what you see and then you write it to book
He saw 12 angels in the East
12 angels in the West
12 angels in the North
12 angels in the South
48 angels to the city, four squared wide
Hallelujah, got to mighty move, that I, John, he saw mighty number
Way up in the middle of the air
Well, I, John, he saw a mighty number
Way in the middle of the air
Got to mighty move, that I, John, he saw mighty number
Way up in the middle of the air
Well, I, John, he saw a mighty number
Way in the middle of the air
