   E                   A     E
Oh don't you know that Jesus died
                    B7
To wash your sins a way
          E                 A         E
So please heed His call, in sin don't fall
                            B7         E
We're getting closer to the grave each day
              A                        E
We're getting closer to the grave each day
                                  B7
Mortal man won't you stop now and pray
          E                      A              E
Leave the road of sin alone, let Jesus lead you home
                            B7         E
We're getting closer to the grave each day
                            A           E
They nailed His hands, they pierced His sides
                           B7
On His head the thorns did lay
       E                A        E
Be pre pared to go, one thing we know
                            B7         E
We're getting closer to the grave each day
                               A       E
On the judgement day, when the book is read
                      B7
There'll be no use to pray
        E             A            E
So each day you live, love and for give
                            B7         E
We're getting closer to the grave each day
