Time to get up from your nappin'
Somethin' drastic's 'bout to happen
So grab the hand of the Captain n hold on tight
Gonna go from bad to worse, before it's set to right

Prophecy's bein' fulfilled
Right before our eyes
Keep an eye on Israel
And Palestine

Chorus
Seek His kingdom first
And don't believe the serpent's lies
Gonna go from bad to worse
Before it's set to right

Get set for war, drought and famine
Somethin' drastic's 'bout to happen
So grab the hand of the Captain n hold on tight
Gonna go from bad to worse, before it's set to right

Prophecy's bein' fulfilled
Right before our eyes
Keep an eye on Israel
And Palestine

Chorus
Seek His kingdom first
And don't believe the serpent's lies
Gonna go from bad to worse
Before it's set to right

Better keep your eyes on the prize
Prophecy's bein' fulfilled
Right before our eyes
Keep an eye on Israel
And Palestine

Outro
So seek His kingdom first
Only those who stay true will survive
Gonna go from bad to worse
Before it's set to right

Gonna go from bad to worse
Before it's set to right

Before It's Set to Right
