Jesus, my all, to Heaven is gone,
And I'm on my journey home.
He whom I fixed my hopes upon,
And I'm on my journey home.

Chorus: Oh, yes, poor sinners, you fled from the rock,
And the moon gone down in blood.
You placed yourself on the mountain top
To hide your face from God.
Mmm, ugh, talk about Jesus,
Halle halleluyer.
Ugh, a glory in my soul.

If you get there before I do,
And I'm on my journey home,
Look out for me; I'm coming too,
And I'm on my journey home.

(Chorus)

I do believe without a doubt
That I'm on my journey home,
That a colored folks has a right to shout,
And I'm on my journey home.

(Chorus)
