Lord! Please let me live a little bit longer 
The kids donít want to let me go 
When you come and get me! Please bring me 
Across the golden gate with you. 

I want to follow you in heaven 
Because I donít want to go down below 
I want to see my twins that I never saw 
I want to follow you in heaven, Lord 
Because I donít want to go down below. 

I want to help you carry your cross 
So I can follow you through the golden gate 
I want to be in the light, I donít want to be 
in the dark 
You are my Lord, and I believe your words 
Because I donít want to go down below. 

This is not a dream, I want to follow you 
So I will be able to watch over my children 
I am sure that they donít want to let me go 
This is not a dream Lord 
But I donít want to go down below. 

Lord, let me live a little bit longer 
The kids donít want to let me go 
But I know you are the boss, Lord 
When you come and get me, please let me 
Pass the golden gate with you 
I want to follow you Lord, 
Because I donít want to do down below. 
Amen.
