Going Up Home to Live in Green Pastures Songtext
von Ralph Stanley

Troubles and trials often betray those
Causing the weary body to stray.
But we shall walk beside the still water
With the good shepard leading the way.

Where we shall live and die never more.
Even the Lord will be in that number
When we have reached that heavenly shore.


Those who have strayed were sought by the master
He who once gave his life for the sheep.
Out on a mountain still He is searching
Bringing them in forever to keep.

Where we shall live and die never more.
Even the Lord will be in that number
When we have reached that heavenly shore.

We will not heed the voice of the stranger
For he would lead us home to despair.
Following home with Jesus our savior
We shall all reach that country so fair.

Where we shall live and die never more.
Even the Lord will be in that number
When we have reached that heavenly shore.
