Lyrics

Verse
The young man said to the preacher
First I’ll get my ducks in a row
Clean up my act
Then I’ll step on that straight and narrow road
The preacher said you can’t save yourself
You gotta walk behind the Lord
He’ll lead you to those streets of gold
What are you waiting for
Chorus
We say one day, some day, first thing in the morning
But time slips away and won’t take time to warn ya
Don’t wake up on the sinking side of ole Noah’s door
Look up storm clouds are rolling in
What are you waiting for
Verse
The old man said to the preacher
Son it’s too late for me
There’s too much sin on my ole soul
For water to wash clean
The preacher said by God you’re right
You need to be reborn
Let Jesus wash you in the blood
What are you waiting for
Chorus
We say one day, some day, first thing in the morning
But time slips away and won’t take time to warn ya
Don’t wake up on the sinking side of ole Noah’s door
Look up storm clouds are overhead
What are you waiting for
Bridge
We’ve all found excuses
To hem haw with the Lord
But He ain’t fooled
The Great I Am has heard all that before
Chorus
We say one day, some day, first thing in the morning
But time slips away and won’t take time to warn ya
Don’t wake up on the sinking side of ole Noah’s door
Do tell was that a drop of rain
What are you waiting for
Tag
Jesus could come down here before I strike my next chord
What are you waiting for
