My Lord's getting us ready for that great day
My Lord's getting us ready for that great day
My Lord's getting us ready for that great day
Who shall, who shall
Who shall, who shall
Who shall be able to stand
Sinners will be running in that great day
Sinners will be running in that great day
Sinners will be running in that great day
Who shall, who shall
Who shall, who shall
Who shall be able to stand
Lightning's flashing, thunder's rolling
Trees are bending, sinner's trembling
Better get ready
Better get ready
Better get ready
Better get ready
Who shall, who shall
Who shall, who shall
Who shall be able to stand
Come on, let's get ready
