70. Lord, I Can't Stay Away

Chorus:
Lord, I can’t stay away,
I can’t stay away,
I can’t stay away,
I can’t stay away.

1 I’ve got to go to judgment to stand my trials;
I’ve got to go to judgment to stand my trials;
I’ve got to go to judgment to stand my trials;
I can’t stay away.

2 I’ve got to go to heaven to live with Jesus;
I’ve got to go to heaven to live with Jesus;
I’ve got to go to heaven to live with Jesus;
I can’t stay away. [Chorus]

3 They’re comin’ from the east, from the west they’re comin’;
They’re comin’ from the east, from the west they’re comin’;
They’re comin’ from the east, from the west they’re comin’;
I can’t stay away. [Chorus]
