I want to go to heaven,

I live on earth

a short time to prepare.

For the day

I meet with my sweet Jesus,

And make that

final journey over there.

When I die

please lay me 'neath the willows,

As dust, beneath

the grass of emerald green.

I'll rise

when my Jesus comes calling,

And ascend

on the end of angels wings.

When I die

I want to go to heaven,

I hold so dear,

the Holy Place to trod.

On bended knee

I praise my loving Jesus,

Praying in communion

with our God.
