I am going on a journey
And I don’t think it will be long
For it seems my Savior beckons
Telling me to soon come on
To some that may sound fearful
But my soul will soon be free
I will soar my way to Heaven
Friends and family there to see
I’ve had a good long life down here
I’ve been Blessed so many ways
But my family is close by me
As I finish out my days
Should it be many, many more
Or should today be the end
I am going on a journey
And to Heaven I’ll ascend
Although I dread deaths very sting
In a moment it’ll be o’er
I’ll move from one world to another
There to live forevermore
Oh, what joy that awaits me
As the gates swing open wide
Oh, what beauty will surround me
As I gratefully step inside
Gates of pearl and walls of jasper
Don’t mean a lot ot me
For I am anxiously awaiting
My Sweet Jesus for to see
I am going on a journey
Safely Home some day I’ll be
Where my suffering wont concern me
I’ll be breathing clear and free
Don’t be sad should I leave you
If I go first please just rejoice
I don’t believe it will be long now
For I hear my Savior’s voice
Calling me so gently calling
It’s a touch in my heart you see
Telling me that He’ll be waiting
On Heaven’s golden shore for me
