Some folks are building hopes down here and planning ahead
so busy with their fortunes, they forgot what Jesus said:
about the wars and earthquakes and the fig tree's budding leaves.
But there's a group of people getting ready to leave!
CHORUS: Ready to leave in a twinkling of an eye,
making investments in the bank up in the sky!
I've made preparations - not a reason to grieve.
Are you in that number getting ready to leave?
Sinner, what's the reason for your needless delay?
While you're hesitating, Christ could come just any day!
Heed the Spirit's calling, make your way to Calvary,
and get in that number getting ready to leave!
couldn't find chords yet but here is a recording
