I got something I would like to tell you,
Those of you who dont have no God on your side.
If I were you today I wouldn't wait too long.
I'd bow down on my knees and say 'for
God I live and for God I'm willing to die'.
You may not feel like you need him
Now, but after while when it's all over .
When someone calls and you wont be able to no longer answer,
Please listen to me and take this
Advice: don't let it be said too late.
You may be doing fine now.
May be wearing your fine clothes,
Riding around in your fine automobile.
But sooner or later,
Death gone creep in your room, just like it has many of times.
So whatever you do please listen to the song we sing and the
Words that tell you this right here: dont let it be said too late.
Oh Lord.
You see when death creep in your room,
Reach under your eyelids and pull down the true curtain of death.
When your heart stops beating and
Pumping the blood from one vein to the
Other, when your tongue has been glued to the roof of your mouth,
When someone calls your name and you won't be able to no longer
Answer, can't you see its gonna be too late, too late.
Oh Lord, Too late, too late.
I have a story I want to tell you right now of a young man who went
Away from home a long time ago and
There he left a mother and father there.
Went away and started having what he called a good time Drinking and
Gambling all day and night long,
But Oh one day when he came in wearing his fine
Clothes; one day when he came in riding in his fine automobile.
When he walked in he found a telegram sticking under his door said
If you wanna see her alive one more time, you better get in a hurry.
He thought about the things he could've done he hadn't.
He fell down on his knees and said oh Lord don't let me be too late.
And as he rode down that highway,
In my mind I can hear him say Lord,
I know I done wrong I should've called once in a while.
But when he finally got home his little sister came out threw her
Arms around his neck and told him
These words right here: too late, she's gone!
Too late, you too late.
She said mama waited on you a long time .
She told him mama waited!
Oh she waited with tears in her eyes for
Sometime but you waited a little too long.
Every time he looked his sister in her eyes she said the same
Thing, she say you just too late shes gone Too late you too late.
Oh he stood there tears in his eyes,
Sorrow all in his heart but Every time he look his
Sister in her eyes she say the same thing She say you just, too late .
Oh you waited too long you waited too long.
Too late too late.
Dont let it be said too late.
