Verse 1
I could hear Him say “You’re going up soon”
I could hear Him say, “It won’t be long”
The sky will open up and you will see Me”
I could hear Him say, “You will be home”
I could hear Him say, “Don’t be afraid,
The sky will turn to gray, the earth will shake
For I am coming back to take you home
There’s no need to fear, you will see Me soon”
Chorus 1
Oh I am going up, up, up, up
I am going up to see the Lord
He is coming back to take me home
I am going up, up, up, up
Verse 2
I could hear Him say, “It’s time to pray
Spend more time with Me and talk to Me”
I could hear Him say, “Don’t walk away
Stay in tune with Me, I’ve a lot to say”
I could hear Him say, “Start letting go
All of those things you love in this world”
I could hear Him say, “Don’t be like Lot’s wife
Don’t you turn around and be left behind”
Chorus 2
For you are going up, up, up, up
I am coming back to take you home
Oh, it won’t be long you will be here
You are going up, up, up, up
Bridge
And I will go up
Going up soon
I’ll see Jesus
To take me home
He has promised
No more sorrow
He is coming
I am going home
Chorus 3
Oh, I am going up, up, up, up
I am going up to see my Lord
He will take me home to be with Him
I am going up, up, up, up
Chorus 4
And I am going up, up, up, up
I am going up to see my Lord
He is coming back to take me home
I am going up, up, up, up
Coda
He is coming back to take me home
I am going up, up, up, up
I am going up, up, up, up
