I Can't Wait to Get There Lyrics

He was sitting on his front porch, a far away look in his eyes.
And when He started talking, He caught me by surprise.
He said, "I could be leaving here, most any time.
For the years have chipped away at this old body of mine.
You see I've had some bad times, and lots of good times too.
And I'm sure not complaining when I say these things to you.
I'm just getting anxious to see that other shore
Cause this old world holds nothing for me anymore.
Chorus: I can't wait to get there....and lay my burdens down
I can't wait to get there....receive my robe and crown.
I can't wait to get there....walk on the streets of gold
I can't wait to get there....to see my brand new home.
The angels came and picked, the rose from my life
And left me here all alone to face the toils and strife.
The good Lord has been with me, and kept me by His Grace
And I can't wait to get there and thank Him face to face.

Repeat Chorus: Then tag: I can't wait to get there.!!
