Don't wait for me
When I'm dead and gone
For I'll just be
Going home
Heaven's light
Will shine on me
It will lead
To eternity

When I take
My final breath
Lay these feeble bones
To rest
And I will run
Through Heaven's gates
Where my blessed Savior waits

And he will take me
By my hand
And I'll be happier
Than I've ever been
Now don't you worry
We'll meet again
And stay together
In the promised land

And I will hear
My daddy sing
Feel my mama
Holding me
And I will cry
Tears of joy
When I see
My little baby boy

And he will take me
By my hand
And I'll be happier
Than I've ever been
Now don't you worry
We'll meet again
And stay together
In the promised land

Oh, mm...

And the Lord will take me
By my hand
And I'll be happier
Than I've ever been
Now don't you worry
We'll meet again
We'll live forever
In the promised land
