Lyrics
1.Good wheat seeds are growin', spread out across the land
Growin' high and mighty by the Master's hand.
When they reach their fullness, t'will be their glory day,
The Master gleans His harvest and the King is on His way.
CHORUS
Let's all get ready now, the King is coming soon.
Let's all get ready now, the King is coming soon, oh yeah.
When He comes to call us, t'will be our glory day
Now everyone get ready 'cause the King is on His way.
2.Bad wheat seeds are growin', spread out across the land
Planted 'mongst the good seeds, by the Devil's hand.
When they reach their fullness, t'will be an awfull day,
Angels throw them in the fire and the King is on His way.
