You said go down yonder Gabriel
Place your foot on the land and sea
But don't you blow that trumpet until you hear from me
[Chorus]
Oh, look way over Jordan
What do you think I see
I saw a band of Holy Angels and they're comin' after me
I cried meet me Jesus meet me
Meet me in the middle of the air
I'm gonna rise to meet my Lord and I'll say goodbye down here
[Chorus]
One day if they carry me out to the graveyard
Like my grandma like my grandpa
And they lay this body down
Don't cry for me
Church-don't cry for me
