Well I 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 land in the sky

I walk and I talk with my Lord
Feast every day on his word
Heaven is near and I just 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
When I hear that last trumpet sound
My feet ain't gonna stay on the ground

I'm gonna rise with a shout, gonna fly
Oh gonna ride with my Lord to the sky
Heaven is near 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
When I hear that last trumpet sound
My feet ain't gonna stay on the ground

I'm gonna rise with a shout, gonna fly
Gonna ride with my Lord to the sky
Heaven is near I can't stay here
Goodbye world goodbye

Goodbye world goodbye
