I'm Getting Ready to Leave This World -
00:0000:00

Lyrics Open

(KJV) Matthew 24:44-51 (Are You Ready - Heaven or Hell!)

44 Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh.
45  Who then is a faithful and wise servant, whom his lord hath made ruler over his household, to give them meat in due season?
46  Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing.
47  Verily I say unto you, That he shall make him ruler over all his goods.
48  But and if that evil servant shall say in his heart, My lord delayeth his coming;
49  And shall begin to smite his fellowservants, and to eat and drink with the drunken;
50  The lord of that servant shall come in a day when he looketh not for him, and in an hour that he is not aware of,
51  And shall cut him asunder, and appoint him his portion with the hypocrites: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

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 a getting ready to leave this world.

 

CHORUS

I'm getting ready to leave this world,
(I'm a getting ready to leave this world of sorrow)
Getting ready for gates of pearl;


(I'm a getting ready for the gates of pearl)
Keeping (my record bright)
Watching, (both day and night)
I'm getting ready to leave this world.
(I'm a getting ready to leave this sinful 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 a 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 a getting ready to leave this world.

CHORUS
