The world is turnin'
Telling me to hurry on
You gotta run to get ahead
Try to take the things you want
But when the sun begins to set
So many things I haven't done yet
Oh, but I won't worry
'Cause there's no hurry
The world's not passin' me by
'Cause the Lord he knows
Just where each day goes
I know He won't leave me behind
And I won't be bringin' a single thing
That my heart can't carry inside
'Cause I'm goin' home
And I'm only takin' my time
The weight of worry
Is never worth the price
Of a world of treasures
That can never satisfy
But I know Heavens up ahead
Where the best is yet to come
So I won't worry
'Cause there's no hurry
The world's not passin' me by
'Cause the Lord he knows
Just where each day goes
I know He won't leave me behind
And I won't be bringin' a single thing
That my heart can't carry inside
Lord I'm goin' home
And I'm only takin' my time
So I won't worry
'Cause there's no hurry
The world's not passin' me by
'Cause the Lord he knows
Just where each day goes
I know He won't leave me behind
And I won't be bringin' a single thing
That my heart can't carry inside
Lord I'm goin' home
And I'm only takin' my time
I won't worry
'Cause there's no hurry
The world's not passin' me by
'Cause the Lord he knows
Just where each day goes
I know He won't leave me behind
And I won't be bringin' a single thing
That my heart can't carry inside
'Cause I'm goin' home
And I'm only takin' my time
