I Want To Go
The 14th chapter of St. John says
These kind words Jesus was talking
Let not your heart be troubled
You believe in God
You believe also in me
For in my Father's house
Are many mansions
Oh, yes it is
And I want to go home
Oh, I want to go home
I want to go, don't you
Jesus said
I'll go away
To prepare a place for you
And oh, if I go
I'll come again
And receive you unto myself
Then he said
For in my Father's house
Are many mansions
Oh, yes it is
Oh, I want to go home
Oh, I want to go home
I want to go, don't you
The reason I want to go
Because they tell me
Over there
It'll always be howdy, howdy
And never no more goodbyes
They tell me
That the streets over there
Are paved with solid gold
And the walls are made of jasmine
That ain't the only reason
Jesus, my sweet Jesus
My sweet Jesus
He's over there waiting for me
And they tell me
There are twelve gates in the city
Three gates in the east
And three gates in the west
And three gates in the south
And three gates in the north
Where Jesus lives
Oh, I want to go
Oh, I want to go
Oh, I want to go
Oh, I want to go, don't you
Let me say that again
For the one that's standing around me
Oh, I want to go
Oh, I want to go
Oh, I want to go
Oh, I want to go, don't you
