This World Can't Stand Long

This World Can't Stand Long - Roy Acuff

A long time this world has stood

It gets more wicked every day

The maker who created it

Will never let it stand this way

This world can't stand long

Be ready and don't be late

We should know this world can't stand

For it's too full of hate

This world was destroyed before

Because it was so full of sin

And for that very reason now

It's gotta be destroyed again

This world can't stand long

Be ready and don't be late

We should know this world can't stand

For it's too full of hate

Everyone knows this world can't stand

For in the Bible it's plain to see

Fire and brimstone shall rain down

And carry us to eternity

This world can't stand long

Be ready and don't be late

We should know this world can't stand

For it's too full of hate

Let's all give our hearts to God

And let Him lead us by the hand

If we will only trust in Him

He'll lead us beyond the burning sand

This world can't stand long

Be ready and don't be late

We should know this world can't stand

For it's too full of hate
