Praying time soon will be over
Praying time soon will be over
Praying time soon will be over
All over this world.
All over this world

All over this world
All over this world.
Blacks and whites you better soon get together
Blacks and whites you better soon get together
Blacks and whites you better get yourselves together
All over this world
'Cause my Jesus he's a-coming ain't pickin'no color
'Cause my Jesus he's a-coming ain't pickin'no color
'Cause my Jesus he's a-coming ain't pickin'no color
All over this world
And he's comin' from the north, comin' from the south
Comin' from the east, comin' from the west
Comin' on a rainbow, comin' in a cloud
All over this world
