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

Chorus

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…
