Oh Edon't you know that AJesus Edied
To wash your sins a B7way
So please Eheed His call, in Asin don't Efall
We're getting closer to the B7grave each Eday
We're getting Acloser to the grave each Eday
Mortal man won't you stop now and B7pray
Leave the Eroad of sin alone, let AJesus lead you Ehome
We're getting closer to the B7grave each Eday
They nailed His hands, they Apierced His Esides
On His head the thorns did B7lay
Be pre Epared to go, one Athing we Eknow
We're getting closer to the B7grave each Eday
On the judgement day, when the Abook is Eread
There'll be no use to B7pray
So each Eday you live, Alove and for Egive
We're getting closer to the B7grave each Eday
