[Verse 1]
There'll be fire on the mountain
I had a revelation last night
Divine inspiration from the other side
Of what it's going to take to right all this wrong
We need a country music Jesus to come and save us all
We need a second coming worse than bad
Some long-haired hippie prophet preaching from the book of Johnny Cash
A sheep among the wolves there standing tall
We need a country music Jesus to come and save us all

[Chorus]
There'll be fire on the mountain
There'll be revival and banging drums
There'll be screaming and there'll be shouting
When my country music Jesus comes

[Verse 2]
We've had our believers in the past
And they gave us a message that would last
They built our house on a foundation of stone
God send a country music Jesus to come and save us all

[Chorus]
There'll be fire on the mountain
There'll be revival and banging drums
There'll be screaming and there'll be shouting
When my country music Jesus comes
There'll be fire on the mountain
There'll be revival and banging drums
There'll be screaming and there'll be shouting
When my country music Jesus comes
When my country music Jesus comes

Eric Church is an American country music singer-songwriter from Granite Falls, North Carolina. After graduating from Appalachian State University with a business degree in 2000, Eric became engaged to a Spanish teacher from Lenior, NC whose father attempted to deter his musical aspirations by offering him a corporate career in Denver. After turning down her father’s offer, Church’s ex-fiance broke the engagement, giving Church motivation to move to Nashville and begin focusing solely on his music. Recollections of this turning point in Church’s life are heard throughout his lyrical portfolio (most prominently in “Those I’ve Loved”).

After a period of being overlooked by record labels and producers, Church was eventually signed to Capitol Records in 2006, making his debut with the album, Sinners Like Me. The album produced four singles on the Billboard Country Chart, “How ‘Bout You,” “Two Pink Lines,” “Guys Like Me,” and the album’s title track.

His second album, 2009’s Carolina, produced three more “Smoke a Little Smoke,” “Love Your Love the Most,” and “Hell on the Heart.”
