They're ringin' for you and for me
Let's all kneel down at the altar
And pray that our souls might be free.

I'll meet you in church Sunday morning
And we'll all kneel down and pray
To guide us safe home on our way.
It's a place where we all meet on Sunday
To worship our Lord up above
And let all of our sins be forgiven
And meet with our loved ones above.

In heaven I hear a voice callin'
From the land where there's one endless day
Let's all be prepared to meet Jesus
The path is narrow to that home far away.
