Lyrics When Jesus Comes Calling For Me

When I was a child I recall and old man
Everybody loved old Zeke
He was all alone, his family was gone
One day he said to me

I'm just sittin' here thinkin' about Jesus
Rockin' as my old chair creaks
Some glad day I'll fly away
When Jesus comes calling for me

It might be today, it might be tomorrow
Maybe one day next week
I'll soon be done with trouble and sorrow
When He comes calling for me
When Jesus comes calling for me

When I die don't grieve and cry
Lordy, don't feel sorry for me
Oh what a day, what a mighty fine day
When Jesus comes calling for me
When He comes calling for me

I might be in the graveyard walking
Talking to my family
Or I might be plowing in the field down yonder
Just old Muley and me

Wherever I am, whatever I'm a doing
Some sweet day I'll see
And band of angels in a cloud of glory
When Jesus comes calling for me
When He comes calling for me

When I die just close my eyes
And lay me 'neath the willow tree
Oh what a day, what a mighty fine day
When Jesus comes calling for me
When Jesus comes calling for me

I'm just sittin' here watchin' for Jesus
Rockin' as my old chair creaks
Some sweet day I'll fly away
When Jesus comes calling for me
When He comes calling for me
