GETTING READY TO LEAVE THIS WORLD

(KEY: "C") [ HYMNAL PG 116 ]

VERSE 1:
LAYING UP MY TREASURES IN THAT HOME ABOVE
TRUSTING, FULLY TRUSTING IN THE SAVIOR'S LOVE
DOING WHAT I CAN FOR HEAVEN'S HOLY DOVE
I'M GETTING READY TO LEAVE THIS WORLD

CHORUS:
GETTING READY TO LEAVE THIS WORLD
GETTING READY FOR THE GATES OF PEARL
KEEPING MY RECORD BRIGHT
WATCHING BOTH DAY AND NIGHT
I'M GETTING READY TO LEAVE THIS WORLD

VERSE 2:
TRUSTING IN THE RICHES OF HIS SAVING GRACE
IN EACH EARTHLY TRIAL I HIS LOVE CAN TRACE
SURE THAT UP IN HEAVEN I SHALL FIND A PLACE
I'M GETTING READY TO LEAVE THIS WORLD

[ CHORUS ]

VERSE 3:
TO PREPARE A MANSION JESUS SAID, "I'LL GO,
IF IT WERE NOT TRUE, I WOULD HAVE TOLD YOU SO"
JUST A LITTLE WHILE TO LINGER HERE BELOW
I'M GETTING READY TO LEAVE THIS WORLD

[ CHORUS ]
