Enter In by Barry McGuire Lyrics

Genre: rock | Year: 1973

Jack Campaign, he was a wicked man
Stole from friends as well as foes
Jack Campaign, he never cared for anyone
Well, Jack Campaign was all alone
Then came his day to stand before the Lord
Give an account of his life
Said, "I'm sorry, I don't wanna die!"
Jack Campaign began to cry

The Lord said, "Sorry. I never knew you
Sorry, but it's too late, too late"
He said, "Sorry, I never knew you
Depart from Me, you've sealed your fate"

John L. Jones was considered a good man
By all the people throughout the land
John L. Jones, he had the Good Book on the shelf
But John L. Jones lived for himself
Then came his day, yes, to stand before the Lord
Give an account of his life
"I went to church, You know I paid my tithes"
But all the Lord said was, "Why?"
The Lord said, "Sorry, I never knew you"
He said, "Sorry, but it's too late, too late"
He said, "Sorry, I never new you
Depart from Me, you've sealed your fate"

C.T. Studd, he was a humble man
He served the Lord both night and day
With all his life he lived to honor Him
And at His feet he learned to pray
Then came his day, yes, to stand before the Lord
Give an account of his life
With tears of joy streamin' down his face
He said, "My King died in my place"

And the Lord said, "Enter into the Kingdom
Enter in, My friend"
He said it again, He said, "Enter into the Kingdom
For now your life will never end"

"Enter into the Kingdom
Enter in, My friend"
Yes, He said it again
He said, "Enter into the Kingdom
Now your life will never end...
