Goin’ Home Day lyrics

I just get a blessing
Thinking 'bout what's waiting up ahead
And there's no need for guessing
We know the Lord's returning
'Cause that's just what He said
So, I'm watching and I'm waiting
Remembering what the prophets had to say
I'll leave behind this earthly house of clay
It'll be goin' home day

The cares and all the troubles
That I've carried for so long
Will vanish like a vapor
In a moment they'll be gone
I'll have a brand new body
That no gravity can hold
I'll fly through pearly gates
And then I'll land on streets of gold

My journey's winding down now
And soon the angel band will start to play
Sweet traveling music then I'll fly away
(Oh, yeah)
It'll be goin' home day

Waiting's hard to do now
I'm a stranger in this wicked world below
But I cling to what is true now
I know when Jesus comes
He'll find that I'm prepared to go
So, saints, don't be discouraged
Those gates will open wide some happy day
We'll step inside and never move away
It'll be goin' home day
The cares and all the troubles
That I've carried for so long
Will vanish like a vapor
In a moment they'll be gone
I'll have a brand new body
That no gravity can hold
I'll fly through pearly gates
And then I'll land on streets of gold

The clouds will start to move
And the trumpet blast will sound
The graves will start to open
And the saints will leave the ground
And heaven won't be very far away
(Oh, yeah)
It'll be goin' home day
And heaven won't be very far away
It'll be my goin' home day
