There's a destruction in this land
Can't you see, can't you see
There's a destruction in this land
Can't you see
Men and women are passing away
Into judgment every day
There's a destruction in this land
Can't you see
Now you see how God is riding
Through this old sinful land
So it pays you to be ready
Have your ticket in your hand
For my God is still-a-riding
And he's taking on every hand
There's a destruction in this land
Can't you see
There's a destruction in this land
Can't you see, can't you see
There's a destruction in this land
Can't you see, can't you see
Men and women are passing away
Into judgment every day
There's a destruction in this land
Can't you see
God's moving by the waters
And He's moving by the wind
He's moving by the lightning
Yes, He's moving by the storm
So it pays you to be ready
To rest in Jesus arms
There's a destruction in this land
Can't you see
There's a destruction in this land
Can't you see, can't you see
There's a destruction in this land
Can't you see, can't you see
Men and women are passing away
Into judgment every day
There's a destruction in this land
Can't you see
There's something I wants to tell you
And I want you to know
Oh Death, he keeps on riding
And he's knocking at every door
He's calling for the rich
Just as well as for the poor
There's a destruction in this land
Can't you see
There's a destruction in this land
Can't you see, can't you see
There's a destruction in this land
Can't you see, can't you see
Men and women are passing away
Into judgment every day
There's a destruction in this land
Can't you see
Some are leaving their wives and families
To do the very best they can
They realize Death keep-a-riding
So it pays you to be ready
To join this Christian band
There's a destruction in this land
Can't you see
There's a destruction in this land
Can't you see
There's a destruction in this land
Can't you see, can't you see
Men and women are passing away
Into judgment every day
There's a destruction in this land
Can't you see
Now friends there is no use of moaning
There is no use of crying
You just set your house in order
And prepare yourself for dying
You just keep this world behind you
And get Jesus on your mind
There's a destruction in this land
Can't you see
There's a destruction in this land
Can't you see, can't you see
There's a destruction in this land
Can't you see, can't you see
Men and women are passing away
Into judgment every day
There's a destruction in this land
Can't you see
Here is the table of contents.
