(Ready to Leave, I'm Getting Ready to Leave This World, Goodbye World Goodbye)
Chorus 1:
Ready to leave in the twinkling of an eye,
Making investments in the bank up in the sky,
Happy preparations not a reason to grieve,
Are you in that number getting ready to leave,
Are you in that number getting ready to leave
V1:
Some folks are building hopes down here, They're planning ahead,
So busy with their fortunes they forget what Jesus said,
About the wars and earthquakes and the fig trees budding leaves,
There's a group of people getting ready to leave
Repeat Chorus 1
Tag:
Are you in that number getting ready to leave
Chorus 2:
Gettin' ready to go, gettin' ready to go,
Gettin' ready to go, gettin' ready to go,
I'm packing up, I'm packing up,
Gettin' ready to go, gettin' ready to go,
Bridge:
I'm getting ready to leave this world,
I'm getting ready for the gates of pearl,
Chorus 3:
Now don't you weep for me when I'm gone,
'Cause I won't have to leave here alone,
And when I hear that last trumpet sound,
My feet won't stay on the ground,
I'm gonna rise with a shout gonna fly,
I'm gonna rise with my Lord through the sky,
Heaven is near, and I can't stay here,
I'm getting ready, ready, ready, ready,
Ready to leave this world, this world,
So, goodbye world, goodbye
