A long time this world has stood It gets more wicked every day The maker who created it Will never let it stand this way This world can't stand long Be ready and don't be late We should know this world can't stand For it's too full of hate This world was destroyed before Because it was so full of sin And for that very reason now It's gotta be destroyed again This world can't stand long Be ready and don't be late We should know this world can't stand For it's too full of hate Everyone knows this world can't stand For in the Bible it's plain to see Fire and brimstone shall rain down And carry us to eternity This world can't stand long Be ready and don't be late We should know this world can't stand For it's too full of hate Let's all give our hearts to God And let Him lead us by the hand If we will only trust in Him He'll lead us beyond the burning sand This world can't stand long Be ready and don't be late We should know this world can't stand For it's too full of hate
