In this world filled with pleasures,
We’re tempted and tried,
The more that we have, here on
this earth,
The less we’re satisfied;
The only thing that’s lasting,
Comes from above,
I'll stand for Jesus and let the
World go by.
When it’s time to depart,
From this sore body of mine,
I don’t want to own one thing that
I can’t leave behind
I want to be free, to sail through
the skies;
That’s why l want to be with Jesus,
And let the world go by.
