Getting Ready For Glory

She's had 80-some years, most of them good

But she's not gonna be here much longer

Now the body gets weak like she knew it would

But the Spirit just keeps getting stronger

She's got her Bible and hymn book beside her

She's storing those psalms and old songs up inside her

She's getting ready, she's getting ready

She's getting ready for glory

She's getting ready, she's getting ready

She's getting ready for glory

She knows all of the verses to How Great Thou Art

And her soul, it doth magnify often

And she's gonna keep learning the Scriptures by heart

Till the day she is laid in her coffin

She wants to be sure when the angels come take her

That she's got some greetings for meeting her Maker

Chorus

She will tell us if we'll only listen

It's not about dying, it's all about living

And whether you're young or the end's getting near

There's just one reason why God has us here

We're getting ready, we're getting ready

We're getting ready for glory

We're getting ready, we're getting ready

We're getting ready for glory

We'll sing it by heart…How Great Thou Art

Until the day we see your face…
