EAE
Oh don't you know that Jesus died
B7
To wash your sins away
EAE
So please heed His call, in sin don't fall
B7E
We're getting closer to the grave each day
AE
We're getting closer to the grave each day
B7
Mortal man won't you stop now and pray
EAE
Leave the road of sin alone, let Jesus lead you home
B7E
We're getting closer to the grave each day
AE
They nailed His hands, they pierced His sides
B7
On His head the thorns did lay
EAE
Be prepared to go, one thing we know
B7E
We're getting closer to the grave each day
AE
On the judgement day, when the book is read
B7
There'll be no use to pray
AE
So each day you live, love and forgive
B7E
We're getting closer to the grave each day
