Bob Dylan, based on 2 Peter3:3-7
3 knowing this first of all, that scoffers will come in the last days with scoffing, following their own sinful desires. 4 They will say, “Where is the promise of his coming? For ever since the fathers fell asleep, all things are continuing as they were from the beginning of creation.” 5 For they deliberately overlook this fact, that the heavens existed long ago, and the earth was formed out of water and through water by the word of God, 6 and that by means of these the world that then existed was deluged with water and perished. 7 But by the same word the heavens and earth that now exist are stored up for fire, being kept until the day of judgment and destruction of the ungodly.
This world it can’t stand long
Be ready don’t wait too late
We should know it can’t stand long
For it is too full of hate
For a long time this world has stood
Gets more wicked every day
The good maker who created it
Surely won’t let it stand this way
This world it can’t stand long
Be ready don’t wait too late
We should know it can’t stand long
For it is too full of hate
This world has been destroyed before
Cause it was too full of sin
For that very reason
It’s going to be destroyed again
This world it can’t stand long
Be ready don’t wait too late
We should know it can’t stand long
For it is too full of hate
If only we give our hearts to God
Let Him lead you by the hand
Nothing in this world to fear
He’ll lead you beyond the burning sand
This world it can’t stand long
Be ready don’t wait too late
We should know it can’t stand long
For it is too full of hate
Song written by Jim Anglin (1913-1987)
