Well you think you got plenty time to get ready to die Before the good Lord calls you home You think you got plenty time to make yourself a good name Before the good Lord calls you home
You say Lord (Lord I ain’t ready) When you hear Him calling your name You say Lord (Lord I ain’t ready) But He’ll take you just the same
(So you better get a new start and find a new way And live a whole lot better from day to day And be ready when the good Lord calls you home)
Well you thing you got plenty time to get ready to die Before the good Lord calls you home You think you got plenty time to pave the way with a prayer Before the good Lord calls you home
You say Lord you say Lord I ain’t ready, ain’t ready When you hear Him calling your name You say Lord I ain’t ready but He’ll take you just the same
(So you better get a new start and take a good look And do a whole lot of reading in the Holy Book And be ready when the good Lord calls you home)
You say Lord, I ain’t ready, wait a minute When you hear Him calling your name You say Lord I ain’t ready but He’ll take you just the same But He’ll take you just the same wait a minute But He’ll take you just the same But He’ll take you just the same
