I’ve told all my troubles goodbye,
Goodbye to each tear and each sigh.
This world where I roam cannot be my home, I’m bound for that home in the sky.
I walk and I talk with my Lord,
I feast every day on His word,
Heaven is near and I can’t stay here, Goodbye world, goodbye.
Now don’t you weep for me when I’m gone,
For 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,
Gonna rise with my Lord in the sky.
Heaven is near and I can’t stay here,
Goodbye world, goodbye.
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 cares ever more.
A day maybe two then goodbye,
Goodbye to each sorrow and sigh.
Heaven is near and I can’t stay here,
Goodbye world, goodbye.
