Grandma told my mama
And my mama told me
That the Lord is on His way
It's just a matter of time till He returns
So get ready for the judgement day
And lately I've been hearing
The evening news
And I'm seeing a lot of signs
I'm looking for that New Jerusalem
Just like John prophesied

And I believe it's time to be leaving
I believe it won't be long
I'm here to say that I hear it each day
When I turn my radio on
All of this news is good news for me
For my rеdemption draweth nigh
And I beliеve it's time to be leaving
I'll be telling this world goodbye

Now it's easy to say
That you've heard for so long
That His return is near
And lately the devil
Has reminded you
That Jesus still ain't here
So if your mind
Has been filled with doubt
It's time to start believing again
Just remind the devil
That you've read the Book
And you know how the story ends
And I believe it's time to be leaving
I believe it won't be long
I'm here to say that I hear it each day
When I turn my radio on
All of this news is good news for me
For my redemption draweth nigh
And I believe it's time to be leaving
I'll be telling this world goodbye

All of this news is good news for me
For my redemption draweth nigh
And I believe it's time to be leaving
I'll be telling this world goodbye
