Laying up my treasures in that home above
Trusting fully trusting in my Savior's love
Doing what I can for heaven's Holy Dove
I'm gettin' ready to leave this world
I'm gettin' ready to leave this world
I'm gettin' ready for the gates of pearl
Keeping my records right
Watching both day and night
I'm gettin' ready to leave this world
Trusting in the riches of His saving grace
In each earthly trial I His love can trace
Sure that up in heaven I shall find a place
Oh, I'm gettin' ready to leave this world
I'm gettin' ready to leave this world
I'm gettin' ready for the gates of pearl
Keeping my records right
Watching both day and night
I'm gettin' ready to leave this world
To prepare a mansion Jesus said I'll go
If it were not true I would have told you so
Just a little while to linger here below
Oh, I'm gettin' ready to leave this world
I'm gettin' ready to leave this world
I'm gettin' ready for the gates of pearl
Keeping my records right
Watching both day and night
I'm gettin' ready to leave this world
Keeping my records right
Watching both day and night
I'm gettin' ready to leave this world
