I want to live so I'll be ready
On that day when Jesus comes
So that I can go back with him
And not be left behind my son

Although dark clouds they gather around you
And it seems old satans won
Just keep your trust in Jesus
The redeemed will overcome

When this short life
down here is ended
and I've run my feeble race
I shall dwell in that bright city
and I shall look upon his face

Old sinner don't you want to go there
To that land so bright and fair
Where the tree of life is blooming
And it's always day up there

I want to live so I'll be ready
On that day when Jesus comes
So that I can go back with him
And not be left behind my son

Additional verse:

The Bible says to love thy brother
Be content and pray each day
Lay your treasures up in Heaven
Cause this ole world is gonna pass away
