Lord knows I've made mistakes Not of which I'm proud but I got down on my knees And begged him please to hear me somehow Forgive me of my sins and show me the light Let me follow in the truth, dedicate my life to you So in the end I'll be alright So when it's my time to go, I've done all that I can I'll have a smile on my face as I join the angel band So please, don't cry cause in my heart I'll know I've got Jesus on my side so my soul will be alright When it comes my time to go There's no easy way around, it's a climb up to the top
But if we keep the faith, live for you each day Believe with all I've got Stay humble as a child Then when this old life is through I won't be alone, Christ will take me home Like he promised he would do So when it comes my time to go and I've done all that I can I'll have a smile on my face as I join the angel band So please, don't cry cause in my heart I'll know I've got Jesus on my side so my soul will be alright When it comes my time to go I've got Jesus on my side so my soul will be alright When it comes my time to go
