I'm Gonna Rise To Be With Jesus
by The Lanny Wolfe Trio

Album: Can't Stop The Music

I don't know just when He's coming,
He's coming like a thief in the night
So, I've been getting my house in order,
my bags packed ready for flight
And like a newborn bird, I'm gonna try my wings
I'll soon be in the presence of the King of Kings
The chains of this world ain't gonna hold me down
I'm gonna fly away

I'm gonna rise to be with Jesus
when I hear that trumpet sound
I'm gonna rise to be with Jesus
I'm gonna lay this old body down
I'm gonna rise to be with Jesus
in the twinkling of an eye
I'm gonna rise to be with Jesus
I'm gonna tell this old world goodbye

My friend, if you don't know the Savior,
why don't you give up the fight
Just open up, and let Him touch your heart,
for He just might come tonight
And with a new life ahead and the old one behind,
an everlasting joy in Jesus, you will find
Then with joy you can shout and sing
I'm gonna fly away
