Analysis of TO ALL IN THE LAND !!
AS I APPROACHED THE CHURCH ALTAR BEFORE I KNELT DOWN,
I SAW IN A VISION A THORN WOVEN CROWN.
BUT BEFORE I COULD SAY THANK YOU DEAR LORD,
I SAW THE SLAIN LAMB THAT I SO LONG ADORED.
BUT ALMOST IMMEDIATELY I SAW ON MOUNT ZION,
A FUTURISTIC VIEW OF A FIERCE ROARING LION.
EVERYONE IN THE LAND WAS COMPLETELY APPALLED,
AND THEN THE VOICE OF THE SPIRIT SAID THIS IS THE
MINISTRY TO WHICH YOU'VE BEEN CALLED.
YOU WILL NO DOUBT BE RIDICULED AND MOCKED AS WELL,
BUT YOU MUST PREACH JUDGEMENT DAMNATION AND AS WELL HELL.
I UTTERED THANK YOU DEAR GOD FOR THIS GREAT COMMAND,
GODS SPIRIT THEN SAID IF YOU FAIL IN YOUR DUTIES YOU'LL
HAVE BLOOD ON YOUR HANDS.
