When King Jesus Calls His Children Home

When King Jesus calls His children home

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'

When King Jesus calls His children home

When King Jesus calls His children home

I'm 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, let ol' Satan stay in Hell

I'll see glory that no human tongue can tell

When King Jesus calls His children home

When King Jesus calls His children home

I'm gonna wear my snow white gown

I'm gonna put on a starry crown

When King Jesus calls His children home, yeah

Ye know not the hour, ye know not the day

So, be humble, my children, hide and watch and pray

When King Jesus calls His children home

When King Jesus calls His children home

When King Jesus calls His children home

I'm gonna wear my snow white gown

I'm gonna put on a starry crown

When King Jesus calls His children home

When King Jesus calls His children home

When King Jesus calls His children home

I'm gonna wear my snow white gown

I'm gonna put on a starry crown

When King Jesus calls His children home

When King Jesus calls His children home

When King Jesus calls His children home

I'm gonna wear my snow white gown

I'm gonna put on a starry crown

When King Jesus calls His children home

When King Jesus calls His children home

When King Jesus calls His children home

I'm gonna wear my snow white gown

I'm gonna put on a starry crown

When King Jesus calls His children home
