I Don't Wanna Stay Here - Shirley Caesar

I’m keeping my lamps all trimmed and my fire burning bright

So I can leave this old sinful world if Jesus comes at night

I don’t wanna be left behind in this old sinful and mean place

That’s why I’m watching and praying, seeking the Lord, running and making haste

I know He’s coming back, I know it

I know He’s coming back

I don’t want to stay here

I don’t want to stay here

He said He’s coming back

He said He’s coming back

I don’t want to stay here

I refuse to stay here

People everywhere are falling in love with this old mean world

Its riches of diamond, silver and gold and forgetting about their souls

But as for me and mine, we’re gonna seek the King

I’m in love with the Lord Jesus Christ, they can have this world everything

I know when the silver trumpet sounds and the saints rise from the ground

I don’t want to stay here

I don’t want to stay here

I know He’s coming back

Jesus said He’s coming back

I don’t want to stay here

I refuse to stay here

If there’s anything I know it’s this: Jesus is coming back again as He said He

would

When we think about the days of Noah these are gonna be the same days when He

shall come back

For the bible gives us to know that people are going to be marrying and giving

in to marriage

I want you like never before to put your minds on Jesus and think on the fact

that He’s soon to come

Get your ticket signed and punched for glory because He’s coming back

I know He’s coming back

I know He’s coming back

I don’t want to stay here

I don’t want to stay here

He said He’s coming back

He said He’s coming back

I don’t want to stay here, Hallelujah

I don’t want to stay here

I know He’s coming back

I know that I know that He’s coming back

I don’t want to stay here

I don’t want to stay here

When the silver trumpets sound and the dead in Christ shall rise

I don’t want to stay here

I refuse to stay here

When Jesus comes back again to gather His children in the end

I don’t want to stay here

I don’t want to stay here

He said it

He said He’s coming back

He said He’s coming back

I don’t want to stay here

I refuse to stay here

He said He’s coming back, Hallelujah

He said He’s coming back

I don’t want to stay here

I don’t want to stay here
