[ Featuring Marie Knight, The Sam Price Trio ]
There's only one thing that I long for
When I reach the heavenly land
To see my Jesus and His glory
As I go from land to land
Yes, there's only one thing that I long for
When I reach that heavenly land
And I know, I know we shall (I'll) see Him
In that sweet, oh My Lord, peaceful rest
Yes, without a mother (without a mother)
Oh, without a father (without a father)
We gotta beat (beat) this journey by myself, ooh
Heartbreaking pain (heartbreaking pain)
All left in shame
But our journey here along
There's only one thing that I long for
When I reach that heavenly land
And I know, I know I shall see Him
In that sweet, oh My Lord, peaceful rest
Yes, without a mother (without a mother)
Ooh, without a father (without a father)
We gotta beat (beat) this journey by myself, ooh
Heartbreaking and pain (heartbreaking pain)
All left in shame
But our journey here along
There's only one thing that I long for
When I (we) reach that heavenly land
And I know, I know I shall see Him
In that sweet, oh yes, peaceful rest
