When I Make My Last Move

1 I've been trav'ling for Jesus so much of my life,
I've been trav'ling on land and on sea,
But I'm counting on taking a trip to the sky,
That will be the last move for me.

Refrain:
When I move to the sky,
Up to Heaven on High,
What a wonderful trip that will be!
I'm all ready to go,
Washed in Calvary's flow;
That will be the last move for me.

2 I've seen wonderful sights as I've trav'led afar,
But how little how empty 'twill seem,
When I make my last move to that City of Gold,
And behold what no vision could dream. [Refrain]

3 Ther'll be prophets of yore, whom I'll meet over there,
And whose teachings have guided me right,
I shall meet the Apostles and Jesus my Lord
I believe I shall know them at sight. [Refrain]

4 Here I'm bothered with packing each time that I move,
And I carry a load in each hand,
But I'll not need one thing
I have used in this world
When I move to that Heavenly land. [Refrain]

5 Ev'rything that I need will be furnished up there,
And not even my song books I'll bring,
And the precious old Bible that showed me the way
I'll not need when I stand by the King. [Refrain]

6 Here I'm constantly saying farewell to my friends,
And the partings bring heartaches and pain,
But when moving day comes when I make my last trip
We shall meet where we'll part ne'er again. [Refrain]
