Lyrics

I looked over Jordan, and what did I see Coming for to carry me home I saw a band of angels coming after me Coming for to carry me home.
Swing low, sweet chariot Coming for to carry me home Swing low, sweet chariot Coming for to carry me home
If you get back to heaven before I do Coming for to carry me home You'll tell all your friends I'll be coming there too Coming for to carry me home
