about
This is a song I made inspired by the last words of St. John Paul II.
lyrics
LET ME GO TO MY FATHER'S HOUSE
(c) 2024 Chuck Hall, Hallfolk Music, ASCAP)
If my heart should stop quite suddenly
And the doctor hold no hope for me
There is just one thing I'd ask of thee
Let me go to my Father's house
If you find I cannot speak the words
That the angels 10,000 times have heard
When my spirit longs to fly like a bird
Let me go to my Father's house
When I think of the love He has for me
There's a home above I would rather be
This world is not a home for me
Let me go to my Father's house
When that day comes you must not mourn
It's as certain as the day you're born
When you hear the echo of sweet gabriel's horn
Let me go to my Father's house
When I think of the love He has for me
There's a home above I would rather be
This world is not a home for me
Let me go to my Father's house
So if my heart should stop quite suddenly
And the doctor hold no hope for me
Won't someone bring viaticum to me
And let me go to my Father's house
Let me go to my Father's house
