When they plant me like a seed in the ground
In silent sleep beneath some mossy mound
I'll be like a rose just waitin' for the spring
'Cause I'm a gonna rise up, rise up, shout and sing
'Cause there ain't no grave gonna hold my body down
When I hear, I hear that trumpet sound
I know I've been a dyin' since the day that I was born
But now I'm living for that resurrection morn'
(Chorus)
When King Jesus calls his children home
When King Jesus calls his children home
I'm a gonna wear my snow white gown
I'm gonna put on a starry crown
When King Jesus calls his children home
Like a bird in a cage that's been set free
My soul will sing throughout eternity
I'll shed this mortal shell, oh, let ol' Satan stay in hell
I'll see glory that no human tongue can tell
(Repeat Chorus)
Ye know not the hour
Ye know not the day
So, be humble, my children
Hide and watch and pray
(Repeat Chorus)
(Repeat Chorus)Lately I've been feeling a little uneasy so I run straight home to you
It's been cold as hell and you just can't tell what a girl might do
I made a whole lot of promises baby, but none of my dreams came true
And it's you that paid and I'm so afraid that I'm losing you
But you belong to me
You belong to me
you beleng to me, me, baby, me
Now your mama said you could do better than me, baby I know that's true
But you believed me instead. every word I said, and I did too
But every day's a Iittle bit harder out there no matter what I do
Well I could carry the world on my shoulders girl long as I got you
But you belong to me
You belong to me
you beleng to me, me, baby, me
But you belong to me
You belong to me
you beleng to me, me, baby, me
Well my shining armour is rusted and worn
There's a heart inside here entrusted and sworn to you
Just tell me baby what I need to do
I can win you over again if you want me to
But you belong to me
You beleng to me, me, baby, me
