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. 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. 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.
