Lyric When Jesus Comes Calling For Me

When I was a child I recall and old man; everybody loved old Zeke
He was all alone, his family was gone; one day he said to me
I m just sittin here thinkin about Jesus, rockin as my old chair creaks
Some glad day I ll fly away when Jesus comes calling for me
It might be today, it might be tomorrow, maybe one day next week
I ll soon be done with trouble and sorrow when He comes calling for me
When Jesus comes calling for me
When I die don t grieve and cry
Lordy, don t feel sorry for me
Oh what a day, what a mighty fine day
When Jesus comes calling for me
When He comes calling for me

I might be in the graveyard walking talking to my family
Or I might be plowing in the field down yonder, just old Muley and me
Wherever I am, whatever I m a doing, some sweet day I ll see
And band of angels in a cloud of glory when Jesus comes calling for me
When He comes calling for me

When I die just close my eyes
And lay me neath the willow tree
Oh what a day, what a mighty fine day
When Jesus comes calling for me
When Jesus comes calling for me

I m just sittin here watchin for Jesus, rockin as my old chair creaks
Some sweet day I ll fly away when Jesus comes calling for me
When He comes calling for me
