When they plant me like a seed in the ground
In silent sleep beneath some mossy mound
I`ll be like a rose just waitin` for the spring
`Cause I`m a gonna rise up, rise up, shout and sing
`Cause there ain`t no grave gonna hold my body down
When I hear, I hear that trumpet sound
I know I`ve been a dyin` since the day that I was born
But now I`m living for that resurrection morn`
(Chorus)
When King Jesus calls his children home
When King Jesus calls his children home
I`m a gonna wear my snow white gown
I`m gonna put on a starry crown
When King Jesus calls his children home
Like a bird in a cage that`s been set free
My soul will sing throughout eternity
I`ll shed this mortal shell, oh, let ol` Satan stay in hell
I`ll see glory that no human tongue can tell
(Repeat Chorus)
Ye know not the hour
Ye know not the day
So, be humble, my children
Hide and watch and pray
