Now in the time of dying

I don't want nobody to moan

All I want my friends to do

Come and fold my dying arms

Whoa whoa well so I can die easy

Whoa whoa well

Whoa whoa well

Jesus gonna make up my dying bed

I'm goin' on down to the river

Stick my sword up in the sand

Gonna shout my trouble's over Lord

I've made it to the promised land

Whoa whoa well I've done crossed over

Whoa whoa well I've done crossed over

Whoa whoa well I've done crossed over

Jesus gonna make up my dying bed

Whoa whoa well

Whoa whoa well

Whoa whoa well I've done crossed over

Jesus gonna make up my dying bed

Meet me Jesus meet me

Meet me in the middle of the air

And if these wings should fail me Lord

Meet me with another pair

Whoa whoa well won't you meet me Jesus

Whoa whoa well

Whoa whoa well

Jesus gonna make up my dying bed

Meet me Jesus meet me

Meet me in the middle of the air

You promise me ten thousand years ago

You've been standing the air

Whoa whoa well won't you meet me Jesus

Whoa whoa well

Whoa whoa well won't you meet me Jesus

Jesus gonna make up my dying bed

Won't you meet me Jesus whoa whoa well

Yes you meet me Jesus whoa whoa well

Won't you meet me Jesus

Jesus gonna make up my dying bed

Goin' on down to the river

Stick my sword up in the sand

Shout my trouble's over

I've done made it to the promised land

Whoa whoa well I've done crossed over

Whoa whoa well I've done crossed over

Whoa whoa well

Jesus gonna make up my dying bed
