Keep An Axe In The Attic

< Intro >

< Verse >

Faces of people that our lives have touched

Pass right before us some for better some for worse

One way or another we all must board that train

Stand before our Lord on his great judgment day

< Verse >

Are you for him or against him there is no middle ground

Time to make your choice, whose side are you on

Righteous Defender, Savior, Prince of Peace

Author of confusion, prince of darkness and the beast

< Chorus >

Keep an axe in the attic the words all over town

Too sad to cry too late to worry now

Levee’s gonna’ break you can’t stop it no how

Rivers are a’ rising they’re coming right into town

< Instrumental Break – 1 Verse >

< Verse >

Cards are on the table last deal has gone down

God’s Kingdom come when the final trumpet sounds

Cold, dark and cloudy when I wrote this song

Keep an axe in the attic look for higher ground

< Chorus >
