Richard Rodgers
The Highest Judge of All
[BILLY]
Take me beyond the pearly gates
Through a beautiful marble hall
Take me before the highest throne
And let me be judged by the highest Judge of all!

Let the Lord shout and yell
And His eyes flash flame
I promise not to quiver when He calls my name;
Let Him send me to hell
But before I go
I feel that I’m entitled to a hell of a show!

Want pink-faced angels on a purple cloud
Twangin’ on their harps till their fingers get red
Want organ music—let it roll out loud
Rollin’ like a wave, washin’ over my head

Want ev’ry star in heaven
Hangin’ in the room
Shinin’ in my eyes
When I hear my doom!

Reckon my sins are good big sins
And the punishment won’t be small;
So take me before the highest throne
And let me be judged by the highest Judge of all!
