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

[Chorus]

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

Holdin me

And I will cry

Tears of joy

When I see

My little baby boy

[Repeat chorus]

Oooh

Mmmm

Ahh ahhh

Oooh oooh

Ahhh ahhh

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
