Lyrics
WHERE YOU GONNA BE?
Where you gonna be when the Lord comes home, will you be lost or found?
Sittin' here watchin' the world go by, sittin' here lookin' around?
Shouldn't you be readin' the Word, shouldn't you spread the good news?
Or do you think that it's all a lie, do you think it's not the truth?
Are you gonna bet e-tern-i-ty, on what pleases you or me?
Where you gonna be when the Lord comes home, where you gonna be that day?
Have you thought...how it might be,
To be with Him, for e-tern-i-ty?
Or do you think, there'll be time,
To change your ways, or change your mind?
Where you gonna be when the Lord comes home, where you gonna be that day?
Oh where you gonna be when the Lord comes home, will you be lost or found?
You're sittin' there watchin' the world go by, sittin' there lookin' around?
Shouldn't you be a readin' the Word, shouldn't you spread the good news?
Or do you think that it's all a lie, do you think it's not the truth?
Are you gonna bet e-tern-i-ty, on what pleases you or me?
Where you gonna be when the Lord comes home, where you gonna be that day?
