Right on Time

Went to the river to be baptized
When I got there to my surprise
My neighbors 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 someone call my name
Singin', "You're right on time, right on time"
Brother John said, "You're right on time"
"You're right on time, right on time"
Brother John said, "You're right on time"

Up on a mountain, one cloudy day
I closed my eyes and I began to pray
When I opened 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
Singin', "You're right on time, right on time"
Brother John said, "You're right on time"
"You're right on time, right on time"
Brother John said, "You're right on time"

Went to the station in the pouring 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
"You're right on time, right on time"
Brother John said, "You're right on time" oh
"You're right on time, right on time"
Brother John said, "You're right on time"

Hallelujah

So, when I feel like every hope has died
I remember that voice by the waterside
"You're right on time, right on time"
Brother John said, "You're right on time" oh
"You're right on time, right on time"
Brother John said, "You're right on time"

"You're right on time, right on time"
Brother John said, "You're right on time"
"You're right on time, right on time"
Brother John said, "You're right on time"
I'm goin' home on the mornin' train

You made me really got Holy Ghost (amen)
Yeah-yeah
