Lyrics
I laid out my old jacket
Put my Bible by the bed
There's a picture of your mama
On the wall above my head
I know my hands are shaking
I know my time is near
But I ain't scared of leaving
I just hate leaving you here
So when the Lord calls my name
Don't think I went alone
I'll be walking with mercy
On the road that leads me home
Don't cry when I'm gone
I'll be with the Lord
I'll be holding your mama
Like I did before
Don't cry when I'm gone
Just keep living on
I'll be waiting in Heaven
When your road gets long
Don't cry when I'm gone
I hope I taught you kindness
I hope I showed you grace
I know I made some hard days
I can't take away
But every prayer I whispered
Had your name inside
And if love can reach from Heaven
Mine will reach you every night
So when the Lord calls my name
Don't think I went alone
I'll be walking with mercy
On the road that leads me home
Don't cry when I'm gone
I'll be with the Lord
I'll be holding your mama
Like I did before
Don't cry when I'm gone
Just keep living on
I'll be waiting in Heaven
When your road gets long
Don't cry when I'm gone
I had more love than words
More faith than I could show
But I'm leaving here forgiven
And I need you all to know
Don't cry when I'm gone
I'll be with the Lord
I'll be holding your mama
Like I did before
Don't cry when I'm gone
Just keep living on
I'll be waiting in Heaven
When your road gets long
Don't cry when I'm gone
