This World Can’t Stand Long
For a long time this world has stood
Gets more wicked every day
The good maker who created it
won't let it stand this way
This world can't stand long
Be ready don't wait too late
We should know it can't stand long
For it is too full of hate
This world has been destroyed before
Cause it was so full of sin
For that very reason now
It's going to be destroyed again
This world it can't stand long
Be ready don't wait too late
We should know it can't stand long
For it is too full of hate
'We should give our hearts to God
Let Him lead us by the hand
Nothing in this world to fear
He'll lead us beyond the burning sand
This world it can't stand long
Be ready don't wait too late
We should know it can't stand long
For it is too full of hate
(End)
Gets more wicked every day
The good maker who created it
won't let it stand this way
This world can't stand long
Be ready don't wait too late
We should know it can't stand long
For it is too full of hate
This world has been destroyed before
Cause it was so full of sin
For that very reason now
It's going to be destroyed again
This world it can't stand long
Be ready don't wait too late
We should know it can't stand long
For it is too full of hate
'We should give our hearts to God
Let Him lead us by the hand
Nothing in this world to fear
He'll lead us beyond the burning sand
This world it can't stand long
Be ready don't wait too late
We should know it can't stand long
For it is too full of hate
(End)
