You laid down your burden when you left this world of woe
And I will think with affection of your time with us below
And on your journey your soul learned how to fly
When you walk that lonesome valley into a cloudless sky
Memory lingers while the body turns to clay
That's so we will recognise you on the resurrection day
And on your journey your soul learned how to fly
When you walk that lonesome valley into a cloudless sky
Home to meet the father
Hallelujah what you've gained
Free from care or bother and free from earthly pain
And on your journey your soul learned how to fly
When you walk that lonesome valley into a cloudless sky
I thank God I'm a believer for I know how the story ends
I'll deny the great deceiver and join my family and my friends
And on your journey your soul learned how to fly
When you walk that lonesome valley into a cloudless sky
