His Fullness Songs ‎#500

500. I'm Going to Join the Band

1 Just look over yonder what I see,
I'm going to join the heav'nly band;
A band of angels coming after me,
I'm going to join the band.

Refrain:
Good news! Good news!
I'm going to join the heav'nly choir!
Good news! Good news!
I'm going to join the band!

2 There's Abel there and Enoch, too,
I'm going to join the heav'nly band;
They shout those anthems ever, ever new,
I'm going to join the band. [Refrain]

3 There's Noah, too, and Abraham,
I'm going to join the heav'nly band;
They join the song of Moses and the Lamb,
I'm going to join the band. [Refrain]

4 Oh, what a host of souls in light!
I'm going to join the heav'nly band;
Oh, what a glorious, what a happy sight,
I'm going to join the band. [Refrain]

5 With Paul and Peter, James and John,
I'm going to join the heav'nly band;
I'll shout and praise around the Father's throne,
I'm going to join the band. [Refrain]

6 Oh, hallelujah, praise His name!
I'm going to join the heav'nly band;
I've got a home in new Jerusalem,
I'm going to join the band. [Refrain]

7 I've washed my robe in Jesus' blood,
I'm going to join the heav'nly band;
I'll stand redeemed before the throne of God,
I'm going to join the band. [Refrain]
