the big man above lyrics

Sometimes in life we ought to think twice
About the people that we step on
Better show our worth while here on earth
For soon the chance is gone

Don't gossip about your neighbor
We gotta show more love
One of these days we're gonna stand
Before that big man above

I gotta help your neighbor show more love
Lend a hand, don't push and shove
One of these days we're gonna stand
Before that big man above

Life is but a vapor
It's here and then it's gone
What we build in heaven
Will be there from now on

But things we gather here on earth
Will soon decay and rust
One of these days we're gonna stand
Before that big man above

Gotta help your neighbor show more love
Lend a hand, don't push and shove
One of these days we're gonna stand
Before that big man above
One of these days we're gonna stand
Before that big man above
