Went to the river to be baptised
When I got there to my surprise
My neighbours were gone and the preacher too
I cried 'oh lord' what shall I do
Then a voice cried out so loud and plain
I heard some one call my name
Singing your right on time
Your right on time
It was john saying your right on time
Up on a mountain one cloudy day
I closed my eyes and I began to pray
When I opend my eyes you know the sun broke through
My heart was happy and my soul was new
I started walking and before too long
I heard his voice sing this song
Singing your right on time
Your right on time
It was john saying your right on time
Went to the station endin for that rain
Made up my mind to ride that gospel train
When I got there the train was picking up speed
I cried oh lord and fell on my knees
When the brakeman heard he slowed that train right down
When I jumped on board he said your glory bound
Singing your right on time
Your right on time
It was john saying your right on time
Oh when I feel like every hope has died
I remember that voice by the water side
Singing your right on time
Your right on time
It was john saying your right on time
