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
