There's only one thing that I long forWhen I reach my home on highTo see my Jesus in His gloryAnd to reign with Him on highI'll be so glad to see my motherWho has gone, gone on to that landOh, but I long to see my JesusAnd by His side to standWithout a father, without a motherI've had to make this journey by myselfSometimes so friendless, heartaches seem endlessSo many sorrows I have knownBut I know my Lord will call meTo that mansion in the skyAnd I shall reign with Him foreverIn that sweet home by and by, by and bySo many times my heavy burdenHave borne, borne me to my kneesBut then I prayed, "Oh, blessed JesusWon't You help me if You please"And He would hasten to my rescueI no longer have to cryAnd so I'll keep my Savior with meOn my journey, journey to the skyWell, well, wellWithout a father, without a motherI've had to make this journey by myselfSometimes so friendless, heartaches seem endlessOn my journey, journey to the sky, to the sky
