lyrics versions 1 and 3
I don’t know what the future holds
Don’t know what life will bring
But I ain’t worried ‘bout nothing
‘Cos God’s figured out everything
I got one foot on this earth, one foot t’ward the grave
But I know in whom I have believed and I know I shall be saved
Well you might lose your father, you might lose your mother
You might lose your sister, you might lose your brother
Everyone you know and love has one foot t’ward the grave
But if they know in whom they have believed, they shall be saved
Well this world is going crazy, it’s coming to an end
But do not be afraid, reach out and love your friends
Pray for your enemies, that they shall not be enslaved
If they know in whom you have believed then they shall be saved
Life among the living sometimes seems so strange
‘Cos people say they love you then people change
Wearied by the journey, sad beyond our years
But just remember in our father’s house, there are no tears
Respect your children and show them dignity
Love them when they’re at their worst and kiss them once for me
Show them faith and holiness, teach them to be free
So they’ll know in whom they have believed and they shall be saved
Pray for your leaders, that they’ll swallow their pride
And seek God for direction, let the spirit guide
Pray for all the nation, that it shall not be depraved
That they’ll know in whom you have believed and they shall be saved
There ain’t no condemnation for those who walk in him
Blessed are the peacemakers and those he lives within
Whenever hatred beckons lift your hands in peace
Pray for those in bondage that they shall be released
Doesn’t matter how you’ve fallen, let it pass with the wind
Because love covers a multitude of sins
Get up and keep on walking, resist those things you've craved
For if you walk with him in whom you have believed you shall be saved
You shall be saved
That’s right
Don’t know what life will bring
But I ain’t worried ‘bout nothing
‘Cos God’s figured out everything
I got one foot on this earth, one foot t’ward the grave
But I know in whom I have believed and I know I shall be saved
Well you might lose your father, you might lose your mother
You might lose your sister, you might lose your brother
Everyone you know and love has one foot t’ward the grave
But if they know in whom they have believed, they shall be saved
Well this world is going crazy, it’s coming to an end
But do not be afraid, reach out and love your friends
Pray for your enemies, that they shall not be enslaved
If they know in whom you have believed then they shall be saved
Life among the living sometimes seems so strange
‘Cos people say they love you then people change
Wearied by the journey, sad beyond our years
But just remember in our father’s house, there are no tears
Respect your children and show them dignity
Love them when they’re at their worst and kiss them once for me
Show them faith and holiness, teach them to be free
So they’ll know in whom they have believed and they shall be saved
Pray for your leaders, that they’ll swallow their pride
And seek God for direction, let the spirit guide
Pray for all the nation, that it shall not be depraved
That they’ll know in whom you have believed and they shall be saved
There ain’t no condemnation for those who walk in him
Blessed are the peacemakers and those he lives within
Whenever hatred beckons lift your hands in peace
Pray for those in bondage that they shall be released
Doesn’t matter how you’ve fallen, let it pass with the wind
Because love covers a multitude of sins
Get up and keep on walking, resist those things you've craved
For if you walk with him in whom you have believed you shall be saved
You shall be saved
That’s right

lyrics version 4
This is a song I never really quite wrote when I wrote it, it just kinda happened. 'Cause I was on stage, I was over in Holland with a band and we're playing an', and I had an electric guitar, which I don't always get to play and um, so I'm playing, I was really having fun and I didn't notice the song was over. So the band just stops and I'm still going [plays chord sequence]. And I'm looking at the audience and they're looking at me. I'm thinking well I should do this four times so it sounds like an ending. But while I was thinking of that I got it confused. So I did it five times, I, but I have to do it eight now. Now they're looking at me like, like they think I'm gonna do another song an'. I shoulda just stopped and told them uh, well sorry. And I didn't know what I was gonna do next. So I sang it, I sang this [Spoken]
I don’t know what the future holds
Don’t know what life will bring
But I ain’t worried ‘bout nothing
‘Cos God’s figured out everything
I got one foot on this earth, one foot toward the grave
Grave, Dave, cave, Dave rave grave rave [Spoken]
But I know in whom I have believed and I shall be saved
There's another reason why you should memorise scripture. So then, just then I thought okay well, you know now I can stop. But I go [Spoken]
You know na na na na
And I shall be saved
Like that and it goes like that, and the band kicks in, boo do boo ah ba ba badabadabahn bowm bowm ba. The whole band's like playing and I'm like oh man. Oh what tangled webs we weave. So I'm thinking well, I gotta come up with a fast rhyme. I've never used this one, there's something to do with a family, there's, there's a rhyme in there somewhere with. Oh yeah okay, so I say eh [Spoken]
You might lose your father, you might lose your mother
Y' might lose your sister, yeah, you might lose your brother
Everyone you know and love has one foot toward the grave
If you know, if they know in whom they have believed, they shall be saved
That's how I felt. And now the room was jumping up and down and the, this pla', you know the whole place was going crazy so I said [Spoken]
This world is going crazy, it’s coming to an end
I was hoping it would come to an end soon. But in the song, song I mean [Spoken]
This world is going crazy, it’s coming to an end
But do not be afraid, reach out and love your friends
Pray for your enemies, that they shall not be enslaved
If they know in whom they have believed then they shall be saved
I don’t know what the future holds
Don’t know what life will bring
But I ain’t worried ‘bout nothing
‘Cos God’s figured out everything
I got one foot on this earth, one foot toward the grave
Grave, Dave, cave, Dave rave grave rave [Spoken]
But I know in whom I have believed and I shall be saved
There's another reason why you should memorise scripture. So then, just then I thought okay well, you know now I can stop. But I go [Spoken]
You know na na na na
And I shall be saved
