THE SWEET BYE AND BYE



Chorus:
When my sweet Lord He calls me
From his mansion in the sky,
My sweet Lord He calls me
Up to the sweet bye and bye.

Verse 1:
I’ll go and see him fearless
With no terror in my mind,
When my sweet Lord He calls me
Unto the sweet bye and bye.

Verse 2:
I’ll see angels with golden wings
Floating ‘cross the sky,
I’ll know no need for sorrow
When my Lord calls me on high.

Verse 3:
When my sweet Lord He calls me
To stand within His light,
I’ll go up high to meet Him
Without any fear insight.

Verse 4:
There’ll be no more panic
When the Lord calls me on high,
There’ll be no more uncertainty
When I know my time is nigh.

Verse 5:
When my sweet Lord He calls me
Up to the sweet bye and bye,
I’ll go unto him cheerfully
To start eternal life.

THE END
