From those around
i hear a cry
a muffled sob
a hopless sigh
i hear their footsteps leaving slow
and then i know my soul must fly
a chilly wind begins to blow
within my soul for head to toe
and then last breath escapes my lips
it's time to leave and i must go
so it's true but " it's too late "
they said each soul has it's given date
when it must leave it's body's core
and meet with it's eternal fate
oh mark the words that i do say
tomorrow could be your day .
at last it comes to heaven or hell
decide it now do not delay
come on my brother let us pray
decide which do not delay
do not delay .
