INTRO: 

VERSE 1:
       G                                   C            G
Do you fear this man's invention That they call atomic power
       G                            D                      
Are we all in great confusion Do we know the time or hour
       G                            C             G                       
When a terrible explosion  May rain down upon our land
        G                              D                G
Leaving horrible destruction Blotting out the works of man

CHORUS:
         G
Are you, are you ready  For that great atomic power
         G                                D
Will you rise and meet your savior in the air
         G                               C
Will you shout or will you cry when the fire rains from on high
        D                           G
Are you ready for that great atomic power

He will surely stand beside you And you'll never taste of death
         G                            D                G
For your soul will fly to safety In eternal peace and rest

It's the raging men of Christians Guided by the Savior's hand

When the mushroom of destruction falls In all its fury great
