I told all my troubles goodbye
Goodbye to each tear
and each sigh
This world where I roam
can not be my home
I'm bound for a land in the sky
I walk and I talk with my Lord
I feast every day on his word
Haven is near
and I can't stay here
Goodbye world goodbye
Now don't you weap for me
when I'm gone
'cause I won't have
to leave here alone
And when I hear
that last trumpet sound
my feet won't stay
on the ground
I'm gonna rise with
a shout gonna fly
I'm gonna ride with
my Lord through the sky
Heaven is near
and I can't stay here
Goodbye world goodbye
Well I won't have
the blues anymore
when I step across
to that shore
And I'll never pine
for I'll leave behind
my heartaches
and tears evermore
A day maybe two
then goodbye
Tomorrow I'll rise up and fly
Heaven is near
and I can't stay here
Goodbye world goodbye
Now don't you weap for me
when I'm gone
'cause I won't have
to leave here alone
And when I hear
that last trumpet sound
my feet won't stay
on the ground on the ground
I'm gonna rise with
a shout gonna fly
I'm gonna ride with
my Lord through the sky
Heaven is near
and I can't stay here
Goodbye world
Goodbye world goodbye
Goodbye
