When they plant me like a seed in the ground
|
In silent sleep beneath some mossy mound
|
I'll be like a rose just waitin' for the spring
|
'Cause I'm a gonna rise up, rise up, shout and sing
|
|
'Cause there ain't no grave gonna hold my body down
|
When I hear, I hear that trumpet sound
|
I know I've been a dyin' since the day that I was born
|
But now I'm living for that resurrection morn'
|
|
(Chorus)
|
|
When King Jesus calls his children home
|
When King Jesus calls his children home
|
I'm a gonna wear my snow white gown
|
I'm gonna put on a starry crown
|
When King Jesus calls his children home
|
|
Like a bird in a cage that's been set free
|
My soul will sing throughout eternity
|
I'll shed this mortal shell, oh, let ol' Satan stay in hell
|
I'll see glory that no human tongue can tell
|
|
(Repeat Chorus)
|
|
Ye know not the hour
|
Ye know not the day
|
So, be humble, my children
|
Hide and watch and pray
|
|
(Repeat Chorus)
|
(Repeat Chorus)
|
