Elvis I John Lyrics

I  John Lyrics

Well there were three gates in the east 

 And there were three gates in the west 

 Three gates in the north 

 Three gates in the south 

 And that makes twelve gates to the city all square wide 

  

 John  you saw might numbers way up in the middle of the air 

 Well John declared that he saw a man 

 He held twelve bright stars in his right hand 

 Well his eyes flashed fire like the burning sun 

 Old 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, you take a look 

 And read what you see and then you write it in a book 

  

 And he saw twelve angels in the east 

 And there were twelve angels in the west 

 Twelve angels in the north, 

 Twelve angels in the south 

 That's a total of forty-eight angels to the city, four squared wide
