1. Laying up my treasures in that home above,
Trusting, fully trusting in the Savior’s love,
Doing what I can for heaven’s holy dove,
I’m gettin’ ready to leave this world.
2. Trusting in the riches of His saving grace,
In each earthly trial I His love can trace,
Sure that up in heaven I shall find a place,
I’m gettin’ ready to leave this world.
3. To prepare a mansion, Jesus said, “I’ll go,
If it were not true I would have told you so,”
Just a little while to linger here below,
I’m gettin’ ready to leave this world.
Chorus: I’m gettin’ ready to leave this world,
I’m gettin’ ready for the gates of pearl,
Keeping my record bright,
Watching both day and night,
I’m gettin’ ready to leave this sinful world.
