great judgement morning - george jones lyrics

[feat. connie smith, waylon jennings, jessi colter, ricky skaggs, travis tritt, marty stuart]
i dreamed that the great judgment morning
had dawned, and the trumpet had blown;
i dreamed that the nations had gathered
to judgment before the white throne;
from the throne came a bright, shining angel
and he stood on the land and the sea
and he swore with his hand raised to heaven
that time was no longer to be

refrain:
and, oh, what a weeping and wailing
as the lost were told of their fate;
they cried for the rocks and the mountains
they prayed, but their prayer was too late
the rich man was there, but his money
had melted and vanished away;
a pauper he stood in the judgment
his debts were too heavy to pay;
the great man was there, but his greatness
when death came, was left far behind!
the angel that opened the records
not a trace of his greatness could find
the widow was there with the orphans
god heard and remembered their cries;
no sorrow in heaven forever
god wiped all the tears from their eyes;
the gambler was there and the drunkard
and the man that had sold them the drink
with the people who gave him the license
together in h-ll they did sink
the moral man came to the judgment
but self-righteous rags would not do;
the men who had crucified jesus
had p-ssed off as moral men, too;
the soul that had put off salvation
not tonight; ill get saved by and by
no time now to think of religion!
at last they had found time to die
