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
