You'd better run
(You'd better run on to meet your Maker)
You'd better run
(You'd better run on to meet Your Lord)
You'd better run
(If you would see Him some morning)
You'd better run to meet Him in the morning
The day will come when time shall be no more
Some will never make the Heaven's shore
If you want to reach that happy land
You've got to hurry, hurry, join that Christian band
You'd better run
(You'd better run on to meet your Maker)
You'd better run
(You'd better run on to meet Your Lord)
You'd better run
(If you would see Him some morning)
You'd better run to meet Him in the morning
You have heard the message has been told
How the streets are paved with purest gold
Walls of jasper, gates are made with pearl
You know there's nothing like it
In this whole wide world
You'd better run
(You'd better run on to meet your Maker)
Oh, you'd better run
(You'd better run on to meet Your Lord)
You'd better run
(If you would see Him some morning)
You'd better run to meet Him in the morning
You can't sit around and wonder why
Can't keep saying someday by and by
Now's the time to really raise your voice
You know you won't have to worry
If you make Him your choice
You'd better run
(You'd better run on to meet your Maker)
You'd better run
(You'd better run on to meet Your Lord)
You'd better run
(If you would see Him some morning)
You'd better run to meet Him in the morning
You'd better run to meet Him in the morning
