Lyrics

(V1)
I heard the song; angels calling
They sang "prepare, it won't be long"
There is a place, for me in heaven
Soon I will see my savior's face
(V2)
All of my pain, will be forgotten
Oh what joy, he'll call my name
This heavy load, set on my shoulders
Will be lifted when he carries me home
(CH)
I'll leave my shoes at heaven's door
I won't be needing them no more
I'll be walking on sacred ground
When my time with you is done
I know my spirit will live on
I'll be walking on sacred ground
(V3)
It breaks my heart; that I must go
It's much too soon for us to part
But know my love, when I have gone
I will comfort you from above
(CH)
I'll leave my shoes at heaven's door
I won't be needing them no more
I'll be walking on sacred ground
When my time with you is done
I know my spirit will live on
I'll be walking on sacred ground
(V4)
Now don't you cry, we'll say goodbye
Though it's only for a while
And everyday, just remember
I'll be only a whisper away
(CH)
I'll leave my shoes at heaven's door
I won't be needing them no more
I'll be walking on sacred ground
When my time with you is done
I know my spirit will live on
I'll be walking on sacred ground
Yes, I'll be walking on sacred ground
(TAG)
I'll leave my shoes at heaven's door
I won't be needing them no more
I'll walking on sacred ground
