Transcribed by MericanSoil Listen to recording for appropriate Call-and-Response Vocals Intro: Am
               Am
What an awful day
When the judgment comes And the sinners hear
               E
Their eternal doom

             Am
At the sad decree
They’ll depart fore’
             Dm     E7
Into endless woe

     Am             E   G   Am        (Rest)
And gloom, endless woe and gloom
Refrain:
            Am
I’m paying now

Am
The penalty

Am
That the unredeemed

           E
Must ever pay

                  Am
Though for help I cry

Am
It is all in vain

               Dm    E7
For alas I’m doomed

Am            E    G  Am
Fore’, I’m doomed fore’

             Am
If I could recall

Am
All the years now gone

Am
For my saviors cause

                    E
I would spend each one

                Am
But they never again

Am
Can to me return

                 Dm  E7
And the task is left

Am            E   G  Am
Undone, its left undone
Refrain:
            Am
I’m paying now

Am
The penalty

Am
That the unredeemed

           E
Must ever pay

                  Am
Though for help I cry

Am
It is all in vain

               Dm    E7
For alas I’m doomed

Am            E    G  Am
Fore’, I’m doomed fore’

        Am
Oh I realize

Am
But alas too late

Am
What a dark mistake

                 E
All my life has been

Am
I refused his love

Am
With a various heart

                    Dm  E7
And I must pay the price

Am            E    G  Am
Of sin, the price of sin

Final Refrain:
            Am
I’m paying now

Am
The penalty

Am
That the unredeemed

           E
Must ever pay

                  Am
Though for help I cry

Am
It is all in vain

               Dm    E7
For alas I’m doomed

Am            E    G  Am
Fore’, I’m doomed fore’
