Getting Ready to Leave This World

1

Laying up my treasures in that home above

Trusting fully trusting in my savior’s love

Doing what I can for Heaven’s holy dove

I’m gettin’ ready to leave this world

CHORUS

I’m gettin’ ready to leave this world (of sorrow)

I’m gettin’ ready for the gates of pearl (tomorrow)

Keeping my record right

Watching both day and night

I’m gettin’ 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 gettin' 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 gettin’ ready to leave this world

[CHORUS]

Here's a video that shows how much fun it is to sing these old 'convention' songs.
