This world can't stand long
Be ready, don't wait too late
Everybody knows this world can't stand
Because it is so full of hate

This world was destroyed before
Because it was so full of sin
For that very reason
It's a-gonna be destroyed again

This world can't stand long
Be ready, don't wait too late
Everybody knows this world can't stand
Because it is so full of hate

If you put your trust in God
He will take you by the hand
Lead you o'er the stormy seas
Bring you to the Promised Land

This world can't stand long
Be ready, don't wait too late
Everybody knows this world can't stand
Because it is so full of hate

This world is so full of sin
Gets more wicked every day
The Master who created it
Will never let it stand this way
This world can't stand long
Be ready, don't wait too late
Everybody knows this world can't stand
Because it is so full of hate

Everybody knows this world can't stand
Because it is so full of hate
