There's only one thing that I long for
Oh, when I reach, Lord, my home on high
Oh, to see my Jesus, well, in His glory
And to reign with Him on high

Lordy, I'll be so glad, oh, to see my mother
Yes she been gone, gone, gone a long time ago
Mhm, but I long to see, oh, my Say-Savior
Yes and by His side, Lord, oh, one day I'll stand

Mm, without a mother, (Without a mother) oh, without a father (Without a father)
Yes I have to make, I have to make this journey, Lord, all alone
Sometimes I'm friendless, (Sometimes I'm friendless) oh, heartaches seem endlеss (Heartaches seem endlеss)
Oh, so many sorrows, so many sorrows, Lord, I have known (I have known)

Oh, but I know (I know) my Lord is gonna call me (my Lord will call me)
Oh, to my mansion (To my mansion) one day up in the sky (Up in the sky)
Yes I'm gonna reign with Him (With Him), oh, forever
Yes on my journey, (On my journey) my journey to the sky (To the sky)
