Lyrics
Verse 1
Stop for a moment and take heed how you are living. Are you lost and trav'ling down life's road of sin? Don't you know when it comes time for your departure, Then you'll know that this is where your journey ends.
Verse 2
Don't be deceived by this world's lust and all its riches. If you could gain the whole wide world it could not bring Peace of God that pass-es all our understanding, Or a home in heav'n where Jesus Christ does reign.
Verse 3
Oh yes, how diff'rent if you've lived your life for Jesus. Life's course is finished and you made it all worthwhile. You can say I've kept the faith and now I'm ready. I fought the fight and I'll depart here with a smile.
Chorus
I don't know about you but I want heaven To be my home and live with Jesus whom I trust. What rejoicing to receive our glorious body, After this one has been sleeping in the dust.
