Cat. #1203 (MFH #836) - As sung by Ollie Gilbert, Mountain View, Arkansas on August 31, 1971
VERSE 1
Careless soul, why will you linger
Wanderin' from th fold of God
Hear you not th invitation
Come prepared to meet thy God
CHORUS:
Careless soul, O heed thy warning
For you life will soon be gone
O, how sad to face th judgement
Unprepared to meet thy God
VERSE 2
Why so thoughtless are you standin'
While th fleeting years go by
An' you see your sad condition
Unprepared to meet thy God
VERSE 3
If you spurn th invotation
Till th spirit shall depart
Then you'll see your sad condition
Unprepared to meet thy God
