Ann Nesby:
I can hear
Church bells tolling
I can hear
Saints a singing
I can see
See hurst wheel rollin
Somebody's leavin
The world of toil and strife
I've realized
That surely and eventually
We're gonna leave
This old world behind, yes we are
Thats why Im makin
Oh yes I am, makin preparations
Hey, to meet the Lord
Choir:
To meet(Hey)the Lord
Ann Nesby:
A woman came to me one day
She said "Sally, Ive got somethin' to tell you now"
She said "Im not ready, Im not ready to give up my wicked ways"
She said "Everytime, everytime, everytime I make a step toward the kingdom,
That mean ol' Satan, that mean old Satan, He give me a hard foot in the eye, Hey yeah"
I told that woman
I told that woman
"How could you hold out any longer?
When you see that Jesus, Jesus
He loves you so?"
Then I heard her say "Im gettin ready, Im gettin ready, Im gettin ready to meet the Lord"
Choir:
To meet(Ann Nesby: Oh yes I am, oh yes I am)the Lord
(Then I heard her testify)
(Im gettin ready)
Get ready
(Gettin ready)

(Oh yes I am)
Get ready
