When I Lay My Burdens Down

VERSE I

When I go to see St. Peter on that far and distant shore.
When I lay aside the thing that makes me sin. There'll be
someone there to greet me and to meet me at the door. Open
wide those pearly gates I'm comin' in.

CHORUS

To see that Sea Walker, that Blind Man Healer, that Leper
Cleansing Man From Galilee. I'll see that Soul-Saver, the
One who set me free. Take my hand, and follow me.

VERSE II

All my friends and my relations, they'll be waiting there I
know. My dear Ole Mother, she'll be waiting too. Well, I'm
getting ready brother, tell me how are things with you?
Open wide those pearly gates, I'm a comin' through.

REPEAT CHORUS

VERSE III

When I look upon my Jesus, the one who set me free. When I
lay my burdens down a crown to win. I'll be shoutin' with
the Angels, join Heaven's Jubilee. Open wide those pearly
gates, I'm a comin' in.

REPEAT CHORUS, then:

I'll see that Soul-Saver, The One who set me free. Take my
hand and follow me.
