Promised Land
Journey to Eternity: Embracing Love Beyond Life
Lyrics
Don't weep for me when I'm dead and gone
Don't mourn my death; I am transitioning to the afterlife
For I'll just be going home
I'm returning to my heavenly home
Heaven's light will shine on me
Divine light from Heaven will guide me
It will lead me to Eternity
This light will lead me towards Eternity
When I take my final breath
As I breathe my last, lay my weak body to rest
Lay these feeble bones to rest
Upon my death, bury my remains
And I will run through Heaven's gates
I will enter Heaven's gates swiftly
Where my blessed Savior waits
My blessed Savior awaits me there
And He will take me by my hand
Jesus will guide me personally
And I'll be happier than I've ever been
I will experience unparalleled happiness
Now don't you worry, we'll meet again
Reassurance that we will reunite
And stay together in the Promised Land
We will remain together in the Promised Land
I will hear my mama sing
I will hear my mother's voice in the afterlife
Feel my daddy's arms holding me
I'll feel the embrace of my father's arms
And I will cry tears of joy
Tears of joy will flow from my eyes
When I see my friends who've gone before
I'll be happy to reunite with departed friends
Ah, he's gonna take me by my hand
Jesus will personally guide me once more
And I'm gonna be happier than I've ever been
I'll experience unmatched happiness in the afterlife
Now don't you worry, we'll meet again
Reassurance of a future reunion
And stay together in the Promised Land
We'll stay together in the Promised Land
