You know it won't be very long
You know it won't be very long
You know it won't be very long
'Till all this aches, get home
Will you be ready then
Just to meet the wrathsome throng?
You better get ready for the day child
You know it won't be very long
You know it won't be very long
'Till the day I of my tries
It won't be very long
Tell we meet him in the sky
Lord and then I'll shout and see
With angels on the throne
I'm getting ready for that day child
I know it won't be very, very long
You know it won't be very long
You know it won't be very long
You know it won't be very long
'Till all saints get home
Will you be ready then
Just to meet the wrath and thorn crown?
You better get ready for the day child
You know it won't be very long
I know it won't be very long
'Till I receive my starry crown
It won't be very long
'Till all of my burdens I lay down
And when I from this race
I'm gonna save my saviors face
I'm getting ready for that day child
I know it won't be very, very long
