I MAY NOT NEED THESE GRAVE CLOTHES


1. She bought a new dress and hung it in the closet.
She planned to wear it on the day she died.
She told her friends, "Farewell, I'll soon be parting.
I plan to meet you on the other side."

2. Then she sat down to read that old family Bible
She read the prophecies of how this world would fall.
She read what John describes, and she started thinking,
I may not need my grave clothes after all.

CHORUS:

Oh, the signs of the times are pointing to His coming,
Just any day we could hear the trumpet call.
I want to be alive at His returning.
I may not need my grave clothes after all.

3. He bought a new suit. It was his favorite color.
He knew just any day he'd have to go.
But he told his wife, "I have the strangest feeling,
I may not e--ver have to wear these clothes.

CHORUS:

Tag after 2nd. time through chorus:
I want to be alive at His returning.
I may not need my grave clothes after all.
No, I won't need my grave clothes after all.

CHORUS:
