One day all the grass will burn
The wrath of One Who kept His Word
This world is not the place to lay my treasure
I look around and what I see
Is not stuff of eternity
This world is not the place to lay my treasure
Lord have mercy
For I do not deserve
To meet You in the sky
Lord have mercy
For I do not deserve
To meet You in the sky
One day all the mountains tall
Will tremble and begin to fall
This world is not the place to lay my treasure
And like the mighty mountains I
Can feel a tremor deep inside
This world is not the place to lay my treasure
Lord have mercy
For I do not deserve
To meet You in the sky
Lord have mercy
For I do not deserve
To meet You in the sky
Bridge: How long 'fore the winds of omen brush my soul?
Lord, take the gentle path, I pray.
How Your mercy burns like fire learns the heart to pray
And all my secret sin
Is ended when I kiss this world goodbye
Lord have mercy
For I do not deserve
To meet You in the sky
Lord have mercy
For I do not deserve
To meet You in the sky
