I will dance with the angels 
        
At the throne of my father 
       G           A           E 
With a crown of magnolia in my hair 
          
Cause my sins were washed clean 
         
In that muddy river water 
    G           A                   E 
And I was born again right then and there

I will lay down my burden 
        
I will lay down my sorrow 
       G          A              E 
I will never cry another tear no more 
            
They'll be no more pain 
           
Cause for all of my tomorrows 
       G            A            E 
I will walk hand in hand with my lord

  (Well, I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren) 
     
(Concerning them which are asleep) 
          
(That ye sorrow not, even as others which have no home) 
        
(So if we believe that Jesus died and rose again) 
               
(Even so them also which seek in Jesus will God bring with him) 


 
When I hear the whistle of the glory train 

Coming down the track like fire and rain 

Hold that door I'm as good as gone 
         N.C. 
Got a one way ticket to my heavenly home
