      I USED TO THINK ALOT ABOUT

      THE THINGS THAT I DESIRED

      PRETTY CLOTHES AND LOTS OF JEWELS

      WOULD SET MY HEART AFIRE.



      HANDSOME MEN IN PRETTY CARS

      EYES THAT WERE ,OH SO BLUE.



      BUT NO MORE DO I CARE

      FOR THOSE WORLDLY THINGS

      CAUSE I'M ONLY PASSING THROUGH.



      OH THE DAYS THAT I SPENT

      DREAMING OF THINGS

      THAT WOULD SPARKLE AND SHINE SO BRIGHT,

      DIAMONDS AND RUBIES,

      SILVER AND GOLD,

      THINGS OF EVERY SIZE,

      SHAPE AND HUE.



      BUT THEY DONT MEAN A THING TO ME ANYMORE

      CAUSE I'M ONLY PASSING THROUGH,

      AND THE PLACE THAT I GO

      IS A PLACE THAT I KNOW

      GOD HAS MADE FOR ME

      WHERE THE SUN ALWAYS SHINES

      AND THOSE SINS OF MINE

      WILL BE CAST INTO THE SEA..



      SO I SIT AND I WAIT  

      FOR JESUS TO COME

      AND TAKE MY HAND IN HIS

      AND TOGETHER WE'LL GO,

      PRAISE THE LORD ,

      FOR I KNOW

      IT WILL BE PAST THAT PEARLY GATE!
