Lord knows i've made mistakes
Not of which i'm proud but i got down on my knees
And begged him please to hear me somehow
Forgive me of my sins and show me the light
Let me follow in the truth, dedicate my life to you
So in the end i'll be alright

So when it's my time to go, i've done all that i can
I'll have a smile on my face as i join the angel band
So please, don't cry cause in my heart i'll know
I've got jesus on my side so my soul will be alright
When it comes my time to go

There's no easy way around, it's a climb up to the top
But if we keep the faith, live for you each day
Believe with all i've got
Stay humble as a child
Then when this old life is through
I won't be alone, christ will take me home
Like he promised he would do

So when it comes my time to go and i've done all that i can
I'll have a smile on my face as i join the angel band
So please, don't cry cause in my heart i'll know
I've got jesus on my side so my soul will be alright
When it comes my time to go

I've got jesus on my side so my soul will be alright
When it comes my time to go
