I can hear church bells tolling
I can hear saints are singing
I can see hearse wheels rolling
Somebody's leaving the world of pain and stress
I realize that surely and eventually
We're gonna leave this old world behind
That's why I'm making
Oh yes I am making preparations
To meet the Lord

A woman came to me one day
She said, "Sally, I've got something to tell you now."
She said, "I'm not ready, I'm not ready to give up my wicked ways."
She said everytime, everytime, everytime I make a step toward the kingdom
That mean old Satan
That mean old Satan
He gives me a [?]

I told that woman, I told that woman
How can you hold out any longer
When you see that Jesus
Jesus, he loves you so
That I heard about [?]
I'm getting ready
I'm getting ready
I'm getting ready to meet the Lord
Oh yes I am
I'm getting ready
Getting ready
Oh yes I am
Yes I am
Oh yeah I'm getting ready
Every day of my life
I'm getting ready
Oh yes I am
I'm packing up now
I'm getting ready
I am ready, I am ready, I'm ready
I'm getting ready
I'm getting ready
I'm getting ready
To meet the Lord
