Well, Jesus gonna be here, he gonna be here soon He's gonna cover us up with leaves with a blanket from the moon With a promise and a vow and a lullaby for my brow Jesus gonna be here, gonna be here soon Well, I'm not gonna do nothing but wait here, I don't have to shout I got no reason and I got no doubt I'm gonna get myself unfurled from this mortal coiled up world Jesus gonna be here, gonna be here soon I got to keep my eyes, keep 'em wide open so I can see my Lord I'm gonna watch the horizon for a brand new Ford I can hear him rolling on down the lane, I said Hollywood be thy name 'Cause Jesus gonna be here, he's gonna be here soon Well, I've got to keep myself, keep myself faithful and you know that I've been so good Except for drinking, but he knew that I would And when I'm gonna leave this place better than the way I found that it was And Jesus gonna be here, he's gonna be here soon I know my Jesus gonna be here He's gonna be here soon I know my Jesus gonna be here Gonna be here soon
