My Journey To The Sky

There's only one thing

that I long for

when I reach my home on high:

to see my Jesus in His glory

and to reign with Him on high.

I'll be so glad to see my mother,

who has gone, gone on to that land.

Oh, but I long to see my Jesus

and by His side to stand.

Chorus:

Without a father,

without a mother,

I've had to make

this journey by myself.

Sometimes you're friendless.

Heartaches seem endless.

So many sorrows

I have know.

But I know

my Lord will call me

to the mansion in the sky.

And I shall reign

with Him forever

in that sweet home

by and by

by and by.

So many times,

my heavy burdens

have borne,

borne me to my knees.

But then I pray,

"O blessed Jesus,

won't you help me,

if you please ?"

And He would hasten

to my rescue.

I no longer have to cry.

And so I'll keep my Savior

with me on my journey.

Journey to the sky.

Well, well, well.

Chorus
