My Journey to the Sky Lyrics

There's only one thing that I long for
When I reach the heavenly land
To see my Jesus in His glory
As i go from land to land
There's only one thing that I long for
When I reach the heavenly land
And i know i know we shall see Him
In that sweet oh My Lord please

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
