[A]
Since I heard about a better home, I would leave this old world and [E] all its song.
Just [A] slip away most any day to heaven's shore.
I'll find sweet rest beyond the gate forevermore.
Yes, I'll reach home, oh praise the Lord, some sweet day after while.
When I walk up that great milky way,
Goodbye old world, good morning there before the throne.
What a singing there will be when I get home.
When I move up there to settle down,
When I step inside the gate to look around,
I want at least a million years to view the throne.
So many friends I want to see when I get home.
Oh Lord, before I leave, may I live so my friends will follow me.
The little home you [Ab] gave to me while here below,
I'd love to meet each one of them when life is through.
[G] Yes, I'll reach home, oh praise the Lord, some sweet day after while.
When I walk up that great milky way,
Goodbye [A] old world, good morning there before the throne.
What a singing there will be when I get home.
Since I heard about a better home, I would leave this old world and [E] all its song.
Just [A] slip away most any day to heaven's shore.
I'll find sweet rest beyond the gate forevermore.
Yes, I'll reach home, oh praise the Lord, some sweet day after while.
When I walk up that great milky way,
Goodbye old world, good morning there before the throne.

Goodbye [A] old world, good morning there before the throne.
