Lyrics for Jesus Gonna Be Here

Well, jesus gonna be here He gonna be here soon (yeah) He's gonna cover us up with leaves With a blanket from the moon (yeah) With a promise and a vow And a lullaby for my brow Well, jesus gonna be here Gonna be here soon Well I'm not gonna do nothing But wait here I don't have to shout I've got no reason And I've got no doubt I'm gonna get myself unfurled From this mortal coiled up world Jesus gonna be here Gonna be here soon I got to keep my eyes To keep 'em wide open So I can see my lord I'm gonna watch the horizon For a brand new ford Well I can hear him rolling on down the lane I said hallowed be that name 'Cause jesus gonna be here Gonna be here soon Well I've got to keep myself I've keep myself faithful And you know that I've been so good Except for drinking But he knew that I would When I'm gonna leave this place better Than the way I found that it was And jesus gonna be here He gonna be here soon I know my jesus gonna be here He gonna be here soon I know my jesus gonna be here He gonna be here soon
