Between the pages of an old family bible,
I found dates of births, deaths, and old revivals
then i came across a page it was written by a feeble hand
Said this is my last request and these are my funeral plans
chorus
When i die let me die speaking in tounges
Let it ring in my ears all them songs i've sung
give me stregth to praise you speak your name one more time
then have your angels carry me over to the other side.
Lord i've lived a long time now my race is run
well i can't wait to leave here for i've nothing left undone
i've got everything in order tell my children not to cry
for i've left them a roadmap so they can meet me in the by and by.
Tell all my friends and neighbors not to weep for me
for i'm gonna live forever i've finally been set free
tell them not to morn or miss me when i'm gone
they can shout all around my grave sight cause' it aint my final home.
