(walkup to A) [Verse 1]
A A Do you fear this man's invention
D A That they call atomic power?
A We all in great confusion
E Do we know the time or hour?
A A When a terrible explosion
D A May rain down upon our land
A Leaving horrible destruction
E A Blotting out the works of man [Chorus]
A Are you, are you ready
A For that great atomic power?
Continues after the ad
A Will you rise and meet your Savior
E in the air?
A A Will you shout or will you cry
D D When the fire rains from on high?
E Are you ready for that great atomic
A power? [Instrumental] (laid vertical for auto play)

A [Verse 2]
A There is one way to escape
D A Be prepared to meet the Lord
A When the mushroom of destruction falls
E There is a shielding sword
A He will surely stand beside you
D A And you'll never taste of death
A A For your soul will fly to safety
E A And eternal peace and rest [Chorus]
A Are you, are you ready
A For that great atomic power?
A Will you rise and meet your Savior
E in the air?
A A Will you shout or will you cry
D D When the fire rains from on high?
E Are you ready for that great atomic
A power?
