Get Ready! Stay Awake!
What are you doing running all over town,
making plans and rushing around?
You're always watching your weight,
cutting down on fat.
Oh, I need my spirit lifted today,
I must buy a new hat.
The night is nearly over.
A new dawn is about break.
Be aware! The Lord is coming!
Get ready stay awake!
Don't waste another minute.
Don't squander precious time.
Your salvation is nigh upon you.
Death's sting to life sublime.
So set your mind on what is coming.
All else is going to pass.
It's how you served and how you loved,
that will forever last.
Cause the night is nearly over.
A new dawn is about to break.
Be aware the Lord is coming!
Get ready! Stay Awake!
