One day, my life on Earth will be ended
And I'll cross over to Heaven's bright shore
To spend eternity in that golden city
Where I won't feel pain or sorrow anymore

My prayer is that my Lord finds me worthy
To sing with angels in His Heavenly choir
And wear a white robe and live in the mansion
That He went to prepare for me there

Realizing that death comes to everyone
I want to be ready when it's my time to go
And live a life that is pleasing to my Jesus
Who loves me because He told me so

Jesus taught us of His love and forgiveness
And to live by the example that He set
So when He helps me to cross the river Jordan
I will have neither fear nor regret

On Heaven's shore, there'll be a glorious reunion
With all the friends and the loved ones I've known
And Jesus will be waiting there to hold on to my hand
So I won't be crossing over alone
