[Intro: Joe Richardson]
Just another link in His chain
Just the another link in His chain
All God's children have stopped to listen
Just another link in His chain
...
Look at you, all God's children know
You're just a link in His chain
(Yeah, just a link in the chain)
When the Lord gets ready the whip comes down
The whip comes down
(Just...)

[Verse 1: Joe Richardson]
A thief on the left and one on the right
Up on the hill about twilight
One lived forever, the other died
While a thorny head hung to one side

[Refrain: Joe Richardson]
Yeah, two got to heaven from The killing ground
Two got to heaven from The killing ground
Yeah, two got to heaven from The killing ground

[Hook 1: Joe Richardson]
While a thorny head hung down
A Lord's whip, a whip comes down
Oh, Lord, oh, Lord, oh, Lord, say now, here it comes
Oh, Lord

[Verse 2: Joe Richardson]
Two men accused of breaking the law
Up on the side of Golgotha
One man accused of being a king
That's the saddest song I'll ever sing
(That's too bad)

[Refrain: Joe Richardson & Carla Trevaskis]
Two got to heaven from The killing ground
I said, two got to heaven from The killing ground
I said, two got to heaven from The killing ground

[Hook 2: Joe Richardson]
When the Lord gets ready the whip comes down
Oh, yeah, hey

[Verse 1: Joe Richardson]
A thief on the left and one on the right
Up on the hill about twilight
One lived forever, the other died
While a thorny head hung to one side
While a thorny head hung to one side

[Refrain: Joe Richardson & Carla Trevaskis]
Two got to heaven from The killing ground
Yeah, two got to heaven from The killing ground
Two got to heaven from The killing ground
[Hook 2: Joe Richardson & Carla Trevaskis]
When the Lord gets ready the whip comes down

[Interlude Joe Richardson]
Yeah
The Lord gets ready the whip comes down
The Lord gets ready the whip comes down

[Coda: Joe Richardson]
You can drift, drift, drift somewhere
Drifting, hey
Can't find no heaven
No matter where you go
Oh, God's never ever listened for me, ever sure
Just another link
Yeah, just a link in the chain
