Goodby World, Gooodby

I told all my troubles goodby
Goodby to each tear and each sigh
This world where I roam
Cannot be my home
I'm bound for that land in the sky
I walk and I talk with my Lord
I feast every day on His Word
Heaven is near and I can't stay here
Goodby world, goodby

Now don't you weep for me when I'm gone
'Cause I won't have to leave here alone
And when I hear that last trumpet sound
My feet won't stay on the ground
I'm gonna rise with a shout, gonna fly
I'm gonna ride with my Lord thru the sky
Heaven is near and I can't stay here
Goodby world, goodby

I won't have the blues anymore
When I step across to that shore
And I'll never pine for I'll leave behind
My heartaches and tears evermore
A day maybe two then goodby
Tomorrow I'll rise up and fly
Heaven is near and I can't stay here
Goodby world, goodby
(Repeat chorus)

Just a little while to stay here
Just a little while to wait
Then I'll say goodby, goodby,
Goodby, goodby, goodby, world goodby
World goodby
