[Intro]
    


[Verse 1]

When you pick 

up the paper a

nd
             
read the daily

 
 news

Of how the wor

ld is sinking
           
The domward wa

       
y they choose


[Verse 2]

The ballparks 

and theaters
            
Have took the 

       
silent stage
            
They’ve got th

         
e church outnu

mbered
           
It makes you w

       
ant to pray


[Verse 3]

They've got th

e church outnu

mbered
            
Inside this tr

       
oubled land

They seek not 

for the Savior
           
His word to un

   
derstand


[Verse 4]

Their pleasure

 in being care

free
            
And resting no

     
t in pain
            
They've got th

            
e Church outnu

mbered
            
When Jesus com

   
es again

[Verse 5]

We read about 

the big shows
            
With tickets i

    
n advance

We see million

s together
           
They wouldn’t 

         
miss the chanc

e


[Verse 6]

The faithful f

ew are ready
            
His mansion Go

      
d can share

But when they 

get to heaven
            
They won’t be 

            
outnumbered th

ere


[Verse 7]

They've got th

e church outnu

mbered
            
Inside this tr

       
oubled land

They seek not 

for the Savior
           
His word to un

   
derstand


[Verse 8]

Their pleasure

 in being care

free
            
And resting no

     
t in pain

They won't hav

e the Church o

utnumbered
            
When Jesus com

   
es again
