I'M Going To a Much Better Place

I'm going to a land that is fairer than day,
 I'm going to a land far away.
 There'll be no sorrow or pain,
 Only peace and joy will reign.
 I'm going to a much better place.

 I'll walk upon those streets of purest gold,
 I'll never ever grow old.
 I'll see my loved ones, who have gone on before,
 I'm going to a much better place.

 I'll see my Lord as I enter that land,
 I'll see Him for evermore.
 I'll thank him for His marvelous grace,
 I'm going to a much better place.
