These are the original lyrics:
You can read it in the morning paper
Hear it on the radio
How crime is taking our nation
This world is about to go
We need a good old case of salvation
To get the love of God in our souls
We need a whole lot more of Jesus
And a lot less rock and roll
We need more old time camp meetings
And a lot more prayers of faith
Prayers that will move a mountain
Save our souls from a burning waste
We need a good old case of salvation
To get the love of God in our souls
We need a whole lot more of Jesus
And a lot less rock and roll
We need more old fashioned preachers
Pouring out their hearts in prayer
And when you're in their presence
you'll know that the Lord is there
We need a nationwide revival
To get the love of God in our souls
We need a whole lot more of Jesus
And a lot less rock and roll
