I Want To Go Lyrics

The 14th chapter of St. John says

These kind words Jesus was talking

Let not your heart be troubled

You believe in God

You believe also in me

For in my Father's house

Are many mansions

Oh, yes it is

And I want to go home

Oh, I want to go home

I want to go, don't you

Jesus said

I'll go away

To prepare a place for you

And oh, if I go

I'll come again

And receive you unto myself

Then he said

For in my Father's house

Are many mansions

Oh, yes it is

Oh, I want to go home

Oh, I want to go home

I want to go, don't you

The reason I want to go

Because they tell me

Over there

It'll always be howdy, howdy

And never no more goodbyes

They tell me

That the streets over there

Are paved with solid gold

And the walls are made of jasmine

That ain't the only reason

Jesus, my sweet Jesus

My sweet Jesus

He's over there waiting for me

And they tell me

There are twelve gates in the city

Three gates in the east

And three gates in the west

And three gates in the south

And three gates in the north

Where Jesus lives

Oh, I want to go

Oh, I want to go

Oh, I want to go

Oh, I want to go, don't you

Let me say that again

For the one that's standing around me

Oh, I want to go

Oh, I want to go

Oh, I want to go

Oh, I want to go, don't you
