The Imperials
Gotta Watch, Gotta Pray
We gotta watch, we gotta pray
We gotta keep on looking
For that very special day
We gotta work for it won't be long
'Til we join our friends and loved ones
All around the throne

The day that Jesus left here
He said that He'd return again
And to everyone who looked for Him
He said that He'd return for them
And if it happened any moment now
Are you watching and prepared
For the day that Jesus calls us home
And we'll meet Him in the air

We gotta watch, we gotta pray
Wе gotta keep on looking
For that very special day
We gotta work for it won't bе long
'Til we join our friends and loved ones
All around the throne

Jesus said, "Keep trusting Me
Work until I come"
For in an hour that you think not
The Son of man will come
And it could happen any moment now
And I know that it won't be long
One of these days you'll look for me
And praise God I'll be gone
We gotta watch, we gotta pray
We gotta keep on looking
For that very special day
We gotta work for it won't be long
'Til we join our friends and loved ones
All around the throne
All around the throne

We gotta watch, we gotta pray
We gotta watch, we gotta pray
We gotta watch, we gotta pray
We gotta watch, we gotta pray...
