Goodbye World Goodbye

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 everyday on His Word;
Heaven is near, and I can't stay here,
Goodbye, world, goodbye.

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.

I'm gonna rise with a shout, gonna fly,
I'm gonna rise with my Lord through the sky;
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,
Tomorrow I'll rise up and fly;
Heaven is near, and I can't stay here,
Goodbye, world, goodbye.

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.

On the ground!

I'm gonna rise with a shout, gonna fly,
I'm gonna rise with my Lord through the sky;
Heaven is near, and I can't stay here,
Goodbye, world,
Goodbye, world, goodbye!
Goodbye!
Goodbye!
