My Journey To The Sky - Canadian Homecoming Album Version

There's only one thing that I long for
When I reach my home on high
To see my Jesus in His glory
And to reign with Him on high
I'll be so glad to see my mother
Who has gone, gone on to that land
Oh, but I long to see my Jesus
And by His side to stand

Without a father (without a father), without a mother (without a mother)
I've had to make this journey by myself (make this journey by myself)
Sometimes so friendless (oh, sometimes so friendless)
Heartaches seem endless (heartaches seem endless)
So many sorrows (sorrows, sorrows) I have known (I have known)
But I know my Lord will call me (but I know my Lord will call me)
To that mansion in the sky (to that mansion in the sky)
And I shall reign (shall reign) with Him (with Him) forever
In that sweet home by and by, by and by

So many times my heavy burden
Have borne, borne me to my knees
But then I prayed, "Oh, blessed Jesus
Won't You help me if You please?"
And He would hasten to my rescue
I no longer have to cry
And so I'll keep my Savior with me
On my journey, journey to the sky
Well, well, well

Without a father (without a father), without a mother (without a mother)
I've had to make this journey, ooh! (Make this journey by myself)
Sometimes so friendless (sometimes so friendless)
Heartaches seem endless (heartaches seem endless)
On my journey, journey to the sky

To the sky!
