When the roll is called up yonder.

lyrics by: Roxanne Dubarry
Written on Sep 15, 2017

When the roll is called up yonder,
I plan on being there.
Leaving far behind my earthly
worries and my cares.
Leaving far behind all
of this life's aspirations and dreams.
Heaven is the place I long to be.
Freedom from death and the grave
appeal to me.


When the roll is called up yonder,
I will meet Jesus Christ, in
the middle of the sky.
He will wipe all the tear
drops from my eyes.
No more tears of
broken dreams will I cry.
I will bid this old earth,
goodbye!

When the roll is called up yonder,
do you plan on being there?
Will you meet Jesus Christ
in the middle of the air?
Will your redeemed friends
and loved ones be meeting you?
Are you one of the spiritually
lost souls who are totally
blind? Do you plan on
being left behind? 

Love in Christ Jesus!
