WE'RE GETTING CLOSER TO THE GRAVE EACH DAY WRITER HANK WILLIAMS Oh don't you know that Jesus died to wash your sins away Please heed His call and in sin don't fall We're getting closer to the grave each day They nailed his hands there on the cross On His head the thorns did lay Be prepared to go, there's one thing I know We're getting closer to the grave each day Sinner man won't you stop now and pray Leave the road of sin alone Let Jesus lead you home We're getting closer to the grave each day
