The Doc Watson Family - The Lost Soul lyrics

What an awful day (repeat) When the judgement comes, (repeat) And the sinners hear (repeat) Their eternal doom, (repeat) At the sad decree (repeat) they'll depart for aye, (repeat) Into endless woe (repeat) And gloomless woe and gloom. I'm paying now I'm paying now the penalty the penalty The unredeemed (that the unredeemed) Must ever pay Must ever pay Though for help I cry Though for help I cry It's now in vain It's now in vain For alas I'm doomed For alas I'm doomed for aye (I'm doomed for aye) If I could recall (repeat) all the years now gone (repeat) For my Savior's cause, (repeat) I would spend each one; (repeat) But they ne'er again (repeat) can to me return, (repeat) And the task is left, (and my task is left) undone (it's left undone). I'm paying now I'm paying now the penalty the penalty The unredeemed (that the unredeemed) Must ever pay Must ever pay Though for help I cry Though for help I cry It's now in vain It's now in vain For alas I'm doomed For alas I'm doomed for aye (I'm doomed for aye) Oh I realize Oh I realize but alas too late but alas too late What a dark mistake What a dark mistake all my life has been all my life has been I refused his live I refused his live with a various heart with a various heart And I must pay the price And I must pay the price of sin (the price of sin) I'm paying now I'm paying now the penalty the penalty The unredeemed (that the unredeemed) Must ever pay Must ever pay Though for help I cry Though for help I cry It's now in vain It's now in vain For alas I'm doomed For alas I'm doomed for aye (I'm doomed for aye)
