Lyrics
There's folks building homes as sweet as can be
People are constructing beautiful homes.
They're leveling their yards and planting their trees
They are clearing land and planting trees in their yards.
But my little hut I'll just let it be
The singer's humble dwelling will remain as it is.
Lord Jesus is building a mansion for me.
The belief that Jesus is preparing a grand home for the singer.
A mansion for me (a mansion for me)
Emphasis on the future mansion prepared by Jesus.
A mansion for me (a mansion for me)
Reiteration of the future mansion's significance.
Built by my Lord beyond Calvary
The mansion is being constructed by the Lord after his sacrifice on Calvary.
But my little hut I'll just let it be
The singer is content with their simple abode.
Lord Jesus is building a mansion for me.
Reaffirmation that Jesus is preparing a mansion for the singer.
Each day I am getting more ready to go
The singer is spiritually preparing to depart for the afterlife.
He's cleansing my sins more whiter than snow
Jesus is cleansing the singer's sins, making them pure.
I'm packing my troubles I'm bound with his love
The singer is leaving behind their troubles, held by the love of Jesus.
Get ready to move to Heaven above.
Preparing for the transition to Heaven.
To you who have homes in this world below
Addressing those who possess material wealth and status on Earth.
Driving fine cars wherever you go
Having luxurious possessions and a comfortable life.
There's coming a time when we'll all pass away
A reminder of the inevitability of death for everyone.
Get ready to move with me on that day
Encouraging readiness for the eventual transition to the afterlife.
