Come down sweet angel band
Surround
and take my hand,
Lift me up to that pearly
door
Set my feet on God's safe shore.
Up through clouds out
of sight
On gossamer wings snowy
white,
Bear me up and swiftly away
I'm
ready for heaven this day.
My faith in the Lord
is strong
Knowing I've done no wrong
That
God has not forgiven
And I'm ready for heaven
living.
So tune up the angels
choir
In this my happiest hour,
Blessed am
I in his grace,
Soon we'll meet face to
face.
Life here has been
hard,
I've played my final card,
I'm ready
to go on home
For heaven is where I
belong.

Scripture From 2
Corinthians 5
So we are always confident,
knowing that while we are at
home in the
body we are
absent from the Lord.
For we walk by faith,
not by
sight. We are confident, yes,
well pleased rather to be
absent from
the body and to
be present with the
Lord.
