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)
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:
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 geting ready to leave this world.
