I get down on my knees everyday and I pray
These tears I'm a cryin' are tears of joy cause it wash my sins away
I'm a livin' for the Lord and I want everybody to know
This old world's just my dressin' room and I'm a gettin' ready to go
Yeah I'm a gettin' ready to go to a place called heaven
I'm gonna praise my Saviour's name everyday that I'm livin'
Glory hallelujah I'm not ashamed to let the salvation show
This old world's just my dressin' room and I'm a gettin' ready to go
[ piano ]
I'm gonna walkin' there with Jesus and my God
I wanna know everything'sa gonna be alright when they lay me under to sod
When he gathers his sheep I wanna be as white as snow
This old world's just my dressin' room and I'm a gettin' ready to go
Yeah I'm a gettin' ready to go...
This old world's just my dressin' room and I'm a gettin' ready to go
