My Journey to the Sky

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 mother

I've had to make this journey by myself

Sometimes so friendless

heartaches seem endless

So many sorrows I have known

But I know my Lord will call me

To that mansion in the sky

And I shall reign with Him forever

In that sweet home by and by

ny 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 mother

I've had to make this journey by myself

Sometimes so friendless

heartaches seem endless

On my journey

journey to the sky

to the sky
