Lyrics & Stanzas
4 portions
Verse 1
Someday you'll stand at the bar on high, Someday your record you'll see; Someday you'll answer the question of life, What will your answer be?
Verse 2
Sadly you'll stand if you're unprepared, Trembling you'll fall on your knee; Facing the sentence of life or of death, What will that sentence be?
Verse 3
Now is the time to prepare, my friend, Make your soul spotless and free; Washed in the blood of the crucified One, He will your answer be.
Chorus
What will it be? What will it be? Where will you spend your eternity? What will it be, O what will it be? What will your answer be? (what will it be?)
