I fly away to heaven and I won't fall

When the angels carry me home

I want to see Jesus first of all

When the angels carry me home



When the angels carry me home

When the angels carry me home

I want to see Jesus first of all

When the angels carry me home



No more sorrow and no more pain

When the angels carry me home

I ride that heavenly glorious train

When the angels carry me home



When the angels carry me home

When the angels carry me home

I want to see Jesus first of all

When the angels carry me home



I walk Thy highway leading to heaven

When the angels carry me home

I see Jesus waiting for me in heaven

When the angels carry me home



When the angels carry me home

When the angels carry me home

I want to see Jesus first of all

When the angels carry me home
