Ticking Away

I ain't afraid of dying,

Been dying a little each day,

Ever since the day I was born.

My time is just ticking away.

Dying is something we all do.

There is no getting out of it.

I wouldn’t want to live forever.

Heaven is waiting at the end of it.

Ticking away, ticking away.

Our time is just ticking away.

No one can live forever.

Our time is just ticking away.

That is when our life really begins.

Our time on earth is a rehearsal,

For before he reaches Heaven’s gate.

The sinner better make a reversal.

There is no real choice to make,

We’ll go to either Heaven or hell.

I’ll stay on the straight and narrow.

Don’t want to go where Satan fell.

Ticking away, ticking away.

Our time is just ticking away.

No one can live forever.

Our time is just ticking away.

Those that are nearing the end,

Don’t be afraid to pass on.

If you have lived right and believe,

God will be waiting with his Son.

Ticking away, ticking away.

Our time is just ticking away.

No one can live forever.

Our time is just ticking away.

Our time is just ticking away.

Ticking away,

Ticking away.
