1)
SOME DAY WHEN I TRAVEL MY LAST MILE HERE,
THE CALL WILL BE COMING FOR ME.
I'LL ENTER THE LIFEBOAT THAT WILL BE NEAR,
TO CARRY ME OVER DEATHS SEA.
2)
MY BOAT SHALL SAIL SAFELY THO WAVES DASH HIGH,
FOR JESUS WILL BE AT MY SIDE.
HE'LL STILL THE ROUGH WATERS WHEN BY AND BY,
I'M CROSSING THIS RIVER SO WIDE.
CHOURS)
HE'LL HOLD MY HAND
HOLD TO MY HAND HOLD TO MY HAND,
AS OVER DEATHS RIVER I GO.
AND SAFE I'LL BE
SAFE I SHALL BE SAFE I SHALL BE,
IN BEAUTIFUL HEAVEN I KNOW.
3)
I'M READY TO GO TO THAT GOLDEN SHORE,
TO LIVE WHILE AGES SHALL ROLL.
I WANT TO MEET MOTHER AND SAINTS OF YOR,
IN HEAVEN THE HOME OF THE SOUL.
