E                   A      E 
Oh don't you know that Jesus died

To wash your sins away 
           E                A          E 
So please heed His call, in sin don't fall 
                             B7         E 
We're getting closer to the grave each day

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

(VERSE)

They nailed His hands, they pierced His sides 
                          B7 
On His head the thorns did lay 
      E                A         E 
Be prepared to go, one thing we know 
                            B7         E 
We're getting closer to the grave each day

On the judgement day, when the book is read 
                     B7 
There'll be no use to pray 
                       A          E 
So each day you live, love and forgive 
                            B7           E 
We're getting closer to the grave each day
