[Verse 1]
        A
You can read it in the morning paper
D
Hear it on the radio
D                      A
Crime is sweeping our nation
     A                 E
This world is about to go

[Chorus]
          A
We need a good old case of salvation
           D
To put the love of God in our soul
          D                 A
We need a whole lot more of Jesus
      E                  A
And a lot less rock and roll

[Verse 2]
        A
We need more old time camp meetings
D
Lots more prayers of faith
D                    A
Faith that will move mountains
         A                      E
Save our souls from the burning waves

[Chorus]
          A
We need a good old case of salvation
           D
To put the love of God in our soul
          D                 A
We need a whole lot more of Jesus
      E                  A
And a lot less rock and roll

[Verse 3]
        A
We need more old fashioned preachers
D
Pouring out their hearts in prayer
D                       A
When you are in their presence
    A                      E
You know that the Lord is there

[Chorus]
          A
We need a nationwide revival
           D
To put the love of God in our soul
          D                 A
We need a whole lot more of Jesus
      E                  A
And a lot less rock and roll

          D                 A
We need a whole lot more of Jesus
      E                  A      A
And a lot less rock and roll
