I
LET ME TELL YOU A STORY ABOUT A MAN FROM GALILEE
WHO CAME TO THIS WICKED WORLD TO DIE FOR YOU AND ME.
HE WAS SENT BY HIS FATHER WITH SALVATION'S PLAN
TO HANG ON A CRUEL CROSS TO SAVE THE SOUL OF MAN.
CHORUS
DON'T YOU WANT TO GO
DON'T YOU WANT TO GO
DON'T YOU WANT TO GO
I WANT TO GO
LORD TAKE ME HOME
I WANT TO GO
II
THEN THEY TOOK HIS LIFE ON THE CROSS AND IN THREE DAYS HE AROSE
HE WENT AWAY IN A CLOUD BUT HE LEFT US THE HOLY GHOST.
HE'S COMING BACK AGAIN I KNOW THE SAME WAY HE WENT AWAY
COMING DOWN ON A CLOUD TO TAKE HIS BRIDE AWAY.
III
HE TAUGHT US HOW TO LIVE OUR LIVES
HE TAUGHT US HOW TO PRAY.
HE HEALED THE SICK HE RAISED THE DEAD
TO SHOW US A BETTER WAY.
