NEW SHERIFF IN TOWN
(RKB, 1/07, from Revelation 11:15-19)
CHORUS) He's comin' on strong, through the darkest of nights.
He's comin' on strong, and he's winnin' the fights.
He's comin' on strong, and he bringin' the light of the world.
1.) The seventh angel blew his trumpet, and I heard a shouting voice.
"The whole world's become the kingdom, of our Lord and his Christ."
Twenty-four Elders rose up from their thrones and all bowed down.
Now there'll be some changes. There's a new sheriff in town.
(REPEAT CHORUS 2X.)
2.) In heaven, the temple opened, and the Ark it could be seen.
Lightning flashed and thunder crashed, and the earth tore at its seams.
The nations had been angry, but his wrath just brought 'em down.
There's a price on the head of the wicked. There's a new sheriff in town.
(REPEAT CHORUS)
M8) I don't know, where you gonna go, where you're gonna hide.
I don't know, what you're gonna do, if you're not on his side.
(INSTR. Bridge and then to tune of CHORUS)
3.) There's a reward for the prophets, and for all who fear his name.
Thank you, Lord almighty. You've finally come to reign.
You don't need a silver star, 'cos God gave you a crown.
And now we'll finally live in peace: New sheriff. In town.
(REPEAT CHORUS 2X) (Tag last line 2X)
