My Journey to the Sky

There's only one thing that I long for When I reach my home on high To see my Jesus in His glory And to reign with Him on high I'll be so glad to see my mother Who has gone, gone on to that land Oh, but I long to see my Jesus And by His side to stand Without a father, without a mother I've had to make this journey by myself Sometimes so friendless, heartaches seem endless So many sorrows I have known But I know my Lord will call me To that mansion in the sky And I shall reign with Him forever In that sweet home by and by, ny and by So many times my heavy burden Have borne, borne me to my knees But then I prayed, "Oh, blessed Jesus Won't You help me if You please" And He would hasten to my rescue I no longer have to cry And so I'll keep my Savior with me On my journey, journey to the sky Well, well, well Without a father, without a mother I've had to make this journey by myself Sometimes so friendless, heartaches seem endless On my journey, journey to the sky, to the sky
