I
SOME FOLKS ARE BUILDING HOPES DOWN HEAR AND PLANNING AHEAD
SO BUSY WITH THEIR FORTUNES THEY FORGET WHAT JESUS SAID
ABOUT THE WARS AND EARTHQUAKES AND THE FIG TREE BUDDING LEAVES
BUT THERE'S A GROUP OF PEOPLE GETTING READY TO LEAVE.
II
SINNER WHAT'S THE REASON FOR YOUR NEEDLESS DELAY,
WHILE YOU'RE HESITATING CHRIST COULD COME JUST ANY DAY.
HEED THE SPIRIT CALLING MAKE YOUR WAY TO CALVARY,
AND GET IN THAT NUMBER GETTING READY TO LEAVE.
CHORUS
READY TO LEAVE IN THE TWINKLING OF AN EYE
MAKING INVESTMENTS IN THE BANK UP IN THE SKY.
IT'S HAPPY PREPARATION NOT A REASON TO GRIEVE
OH ARE YOU IN THAT NUMBER GETTING READY TO LEAVE.
