Good-Bye World (Medley)


GOOD-BYE WORLD

I've told all my troubles good-bye
Good-bye to each tear and each cry
This world where I roam cannot be my home
I'm bound for a land in the sky

I walk and I talk with my Lord
I feast ev'ry day on His Word
Heaven is near and I can't stay here
Good-bye world, good-bye

Now don't you weep for me when I'm gone
'Cause I won't have to leave here alone
And when I hear that last trumpet sound
My feet won't stay on the ground

Gonna rise with a shout, gonna fly
Gonna ride with my Lord through the sky
Heaven is near and I can't stay here
Good-bye world, good-bye

MOVIN' UP TO GLORY-LAND

I love to think about a paradise somewhere beyond the blue
A mansion waiting in the distant skies, maybe next door to you
We'll go parading through the distant stars, right down the Milky Way
The planets Jupiter and Neptune and Mars won't even be half way

Oh yes I'm movin', movin', movin' up to glory-land
Movin', movin', holding to His nail-scarred hand
Don't know when I'm leaving but I'm ready to go
When I get to heaven I'll be welcome I know
Movin', movin', movin' up to glory-land

I made my reservation long ago the day I gave up sin
And when my mansion's ready this I know, I'm gonna move right in
I have a vision of a happy place where friends and loved ones meet
Right on the corner of God's Avenue and Hallelujah Street

Oh yes I'm movin', movin', movin' up to glory-land
Movin', movin', holding to His nail-scarred hand
Don't know when I'm leaving but I'm ready to go
When I get to heaven I'll be welcome I know
Movin', movin', movin' up to glory
All the way to glory
Movin' up to glory-land

I'LL FLY AWAY

Just a few more weary days and then I'll fly away
To a land where joy shall never end; I'll fly away

I'll fly away, oh glory, I'll fly away
When I die, hallelujah, by and by
I'll fly away

I'll fly away, oh glory, I'll fly away
When I die, hallelujah, by and by
I'll fly away, I'll fly away, I'll fly away
