This World Can't Stand Long

|
A long time this world has stood
|
It gets more wicked every day
|
The maker who created it
|
Will never let it stand this way
|
|
This world can't stand long
|
Be ready and don't be late
|
We should know this world can't stand
|
For it's too full of hate
|
|
This world was destroyed before
|
Because it was so full of sin
|
And for that very reason now
|
It's gotta be destroyed again
|
|
This world can't stand long
|
Be ready and don't be late
|
We should know this world can't stand
|
For it's too full of hate
|
|
Everyone knows this world can't stand
|
For in the Bible it's plain to see
|
Fire and brimstone shall rain down
|
And carry us to eternity
|
|
This world can't stand long
|
Be ready and don't be late
|
We should know this world can't stand
|
For it's too full of hate
|
|
Let's all give our hearts to God
|
And let Him lead us by the hand
|
If we will only trust in Him
|
He'll lead us beyond the burning sand
|
|
This world can't stand long
|
Be ready and don't be late
|
We should know this world can't stand
|
For it's too full of hate
