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