WHEN SAINTS GO HOME

When Saints go home/ friends and family weep

Angels celebrate/ they know they're just asleep

Soon they will awake/ their saviour they will greet

And walk to their mansion/ beside that golden street

CHORUS 1

No my friend/ death is not the end

But a new beginning/and a brand new start

Death and grave are denied/ a new life is supplied

That will never end/ so my friend/ ---take heart

---------------------------------------------------

When Saints go home/ and leave this old earth

They're never alone/ has no more pain or hurt

They will rest a while/ until that final day

Receive a new body/ that will never decay

REPEAT CHORUS 1

CHORUS 2

Yes my friend/ a new life begins

Books will be opened/ records will be read

For deeds done down below/ for God's records will show

The deeds done for Christ/ or for self----instead
