I'm goin' home to see King Jesus
I'm packin' up and gettin' ready

Well the first step I took in Jordan
The water came to my knees
The second step I took in Jordan
The water came to my way
Well the third step I took in Jordan
You know the water came
over my head
Well, I saw King Jesus on the other side
He's makin' up a dy in' bed
That's why I'm packin'
up and gettin' ready
I'm goin' home to see King Jesus
I'm packin' up and gettin' ready

Just to hold my dyin' head
That's why I'm packin'

Well, take my body to the church,

For it's all I want you to do for me,
just to give that bell one tone.
That's why I'm packing up

Packing up and getting ready
