Lyrics for Careless Soul

Careless soul, O heed the warning, For your life will soon be gone; O how sad to face the judgment Unprepared to meet thy God. Careless soul, why will you linger? Wandering from the fold of God? And your life is spent in folly? O prepare to meet thy God. Careless soul, O heed the warning, For your life will soon be gone; O how sad to face the judgment Unprepared to meet thy God. Hear you not the earnest pleadings Of your friends that wish you well? And perhaps before tomorrow You'll be called to meet your God. Careless soul, O heed the warning, For your life will soon be gone; O how sad to face the judgment Unprepared to meet thy God.
