The years have gone by, and the time has been spent
And I can't understand where all the years wentMy children are grown and they're out on their own
I wish that sometimes they would visit or phone
I know I am nearing the end of my years
But I'll carry on boldly, rejecting the fears
For I know that my Jesus, His heart full of love
Will welcome me home to my mansion above
For He cancelled my debt, and He paid for my sin
And the angels in heaven will carry me in
There'll be no more sickness, no death, and no pain
For Jesus my Lord is the one who will reign
And I'll live with Him there in that wonderful place
Forever beholding that beautiful face
