This plane I’m riding they say it’s leaving
For a place where we’ll never die
And the pilot will by my Jesus
To my shack up in the sky
Now don’t be grieving ‘cause I’m leaving
And don’t cry when I say goodbye
There’ll be no grieving to where I’m going
To my shack up in the sky
My journey with Jesus will end my sorrow
Heal my affliction, no more I’ll cry
I’ll be rejoicing while I’m going
To my shack up in the sky
