44. Don't Stay Away

1 Brothers, don't stay away,
Brothers, don't stay away,
Brothers, don't stay away, don't stay away,
For my Lord says there's room enough,
room enough in the heavens for us all,
My Lord says there's room enough,
Don't stay away.

2 Mourners, don't stay away,
Mourners, don't stay away,
Mourners, don't stay away, don't stay away,
For the Bible says there's room enough,
room enough in the heavens for us all,
My Lord says there's room enough,
Don't stay away.

3 Gambler, don't stay away,
Gambler, don't stay away,
Gambler, don't stay away, don't stay away,
For the angels say there's room enough,
room enough in the heavens for us all,
My Lord says there's room enough,
Don't stay away.

4 Sister, don't stay away,
Sister, don't stay away,
Sister, don't stay away, don't stay away,
For Jesus says there's room enough,
room enough in the heavens for us all,
My Lord says there's room enough,
Don't stay away.
