I
MY OLD FRIENDS SAY I'M MISSING ALL THE GOOD TIMES
WHAT I'M MISSING THEY CAN'T UNDERSTAND.
BUT BY THE TIME THEY REALLY FIND I'M TRULY MISSING
I'LL BE MISSING TRIBULATION AND IN GLORYLAND.
II
I'VE BEEN MISSING ALL THE MODERN EARTHLY TREASURES
I'M NOT FAMOUS AND I'M NOT A MILLIONAIRE
BUT I KNOW FOR SURE I'LL NOT BE MISSING HEAVEN.
WHERE ALL THOSE MADE RICH AND THAT BEYOND COMPARE.
CHORUS
AND BY THE TIME THEY FIND ME MISSING.
BY THE TIME FIND ME MISSING
I'LL BE LIVING OVER THERE
I'LL BE LIVING OVER THERE
WHERE THERE IS NO REMINISCING
WHERE THERE IS REMINISCING
OF THE SORROW WE HAVE DOWN HERE.
AND BY THE TIME THEY LOOK AROUND THEM
BY THE TIME LOOK AROUND THEM
AND DISCOVER THAT I'M GONE
AND DISCOVER THAT I'M GONE
I'LL BE IN THAT FINAL CHORUS
I'LL BE IN FINAL CHORUS
SINGING ROUND THE MASTER'S THRONE
SINGING ROUND
