was: To a plce our dear savior promised us all
our greatest lift will be after the fall
There's a better time coming soon
Just like a speeding train
Lets all get on board and rejoice in the new reign
Liked the changes and the advice to modulate
Lyrics:
KEEP THE LIGHT A-BURNING
Life’s a rocky road
Just for a short time
One fine morning
We will all cross that line
He's prepared a place for us
And soon shall come again
When our time is over
We will be with him
If I get there before you
Promise not to cry
For I will keep the light
A burning in our mansion way up high
Days go so fast
As we’re just passing through
Our body’s wearing out
But we’ll get one brand new
No canes or wheelchairs
No sickness or death
Our New life will begin
When we take
our last breath
If I get there before you
Promise not to cry
For I will keep the light
A burning in our mansion way up high
There’s a better time a coming
Just like a speeding train
Lte's all get on board
And ride it to the end
Destination’s heaven
So relax enjoy the ride
Saint Peter takes your name
Then welcomes you inside.
If I get there before you
Promise not to cry
For I will keep the light
A burning in our mansion way up high
(modulate G to A)
We’ll see our friends and family
Who long ago have gone?
Mothers and father
Daughters and Sons
Hand in hand
Rejoicing
In praising and song
The body is weak
But the spirit is strong
If I get there before you
Promise not to cry
For I will keep the light
A burning in our mansion way up high
For our keep the light
A burning in our mansion way up high
