I long to fly away to Heaven
Pass beyond that shining door
See my master and my savior
High away to Heaven soar
I have made myself my promise
Never again to grieve my lord
I will live his gospel story
Sweetest story ever told
Ain’ta gonna grieve my lord no more
Ain’ta gonna grieve my lord no more
Ain’ta gonna grieve my lord any more, not any more
Guess I’ve lived my life in blindness
I have lived a life of wrong
Now my heart runs full with gladness
Singing out my gospel song
Many a faith’s too easy shaken
Many a heart too full of fear
Many an eye is too mistaken
Grievous to my savior dear
Ain’ta gonna grieve my lord no more
Ain’ta gonna grieve my lord no more
Ain’ta gonna grieve my lord any more, not any more
Make today this golden promise
Make this vow forever more
Live the story and the glory
Dwell in peace forever more
Make today this one agreement
Change my thoughts from greed to love
Enter soft into my chamber
Pray for light to show me through
Ain’ta gonna grieve my lord no more
Ain’ta gonna grieve my lord no more
Ain’ta gonna grieve my lord any more, not any more
