by Lester Ray Sandy As I travel down life's pathway, My heart is filled with love. I am thinking of my Savior Who shed His precious blood, Who pardoned my transgressions, Took me from the miry clay, Put my feet upon God's highway From which I'll never stray. I am going home to Jesus. I am going there to stay When my mansion there is ready, And the Savior says I may. I am longing for that day When my Savior bids me come Up there in Heaven, my home. I long to be with Jesus In those mansions with the blessed There to dwell with Him forever In that great eternal rest. Yes, I know my Savior loves me, For He has told me so. When Heaven's portal opens, Lord, Find me prepared to go. When I think of those bright mansions And the angels dressed in white, Then I know I'll see my Savior On his glorious throne of light When I walk those golden streets With the One that I adore. Oh, I want to dwell with Jesus In that home forever more. I can see my blessed Savior With His precious nail-pierced hands, Bids me welcome into heaven There to join that happy band. Do you wonder that I love Him And do His will each day, That I want to go and meet Him And forever more to stay? Blessed Savior, I am ready For my mansion over there Where my heartaches will be over; There will be no want or care. Jesus, this will be Your glory When the saints, assembled be, Give You all their praise and honor Throughout all eternity.
