Verse 1
I just get a blessing, thinking 'bout what's waiting up ahead
And there's no need for guessing, we know the Lord's returning 'cause that's just what He said
So I'm watching and I'm waiting, remembering what the prophets had to say
I'll leave behind this earthly house of clay, it'll be goin' home day
Chorus
The cares and all the troubles that I've carried for so long
Will vanish like a vapor, in a moment they'll be gone
I'll have a brand new body that no gravity can hold
I'll fly through pearly gates and then I'll land on streets of gold
My journey's winding down now and soon the angel band will start to play
Sweet traveling music then I'll fly away, it'll be goin' home day
Verse 2
Waiting's hard to do now, I'm a stranger in this wicked world below
But I cling to what is true now, I know when Jesus comes, He'll find that I'm prepared to go
So saints, don't be discouraged, those gates will open wide some happy day
We'll step inside and never move away, it'll be goin' home day
Chorus
The cares and all the troubles that I've carried for so long
Will vanish like a vapor, in a moment they'll be gone
I'll have a brand new body that no gravity can hold
I'll fly through pearly gates and then I'll land on streets of gold
The clouds will start to moving, the trumpet blast will sound
The graves will start to open and the saints will leave the ground
And heaven won't be very far away, it'll be goin' home day
Tag
And heaven won't be very far away, it'll be my goin' home day
