about

I heard this done by Phil Keaggy and always liked his version. My take on an old Son House song.

lyrics

Tell me who's that writin'?
(John the Revelator)
Tell me who's that writin'?
(John the Revelator)
Tell me who's that writin'?
(John the Revelator)
Wrote the book of the Seven Seals

God walked down in the cool of the day
He called Adam by his name
He refused to answer
Because he was naked and afraid

You know Christ had twelve apostles
And three he led away
He said watch with me awhile
While I go yon and pray

Christ came down on Easter Morning
Mary and Martha came down to see
Go tell my Apostlles
To meet me in Galilee
