When I say farewell (when I say farewell)
To my life on earth (to my life on earth)
I will be (I will be) with Jesus
No more tears (no more tears) will fill my eyes
Reigning with my saviour

When I say farewell (when I say farewell)
To my life on earth (to my life on earth)

I will be (I will be) with Jesus
No more tears (no more tears) will fill my eyes
Reigning with my saviour
