She's had 80-some years, most of them good But she's not gonna be here much longer Now the body gets weak like she knew it would But the Spirit just keeps getting stronger She's got her Bible and hymn book beside her She's storing those psalms and old songs up inside her She's getting ready, she's getting ready She's getting ready for glory She's getting ready, she's getting ready She's getting ready for glory She knows all of the verses to How Great Thou Art And her soul, it doth magnify often And she's gonna keep learning the Scriptures by heart Till the day she is laid in her coffin She wants to be sure when the angels come take her That she's got some greetings for meeting her Maker She's getting ready, she's getting ready She's getting ready for glory She's getting ready, she's getting ready She's getting ready for glory She will tell us if we'll only listen It's not about dying, it's all about living And whether you're young or the end's getting near There's just one reason why God has us here We're getting ready, we're getting ready We're getting ready for glory We're getting ready, we're getting ready We're getting ready for glory We'll sing it by heart... How Great Thou Art Until the day we see your face.
