Through this span of life, we're all-time tempted
Searching for things with an Earthly gain
I have set my goal for a home in Heaven
Some day with Jesus I'll forever reign

Jesus is waiting, waiting with a robe and crown
Happy I'll be to lay my Earthly burdens down
For I shall meet Him in Heaven on the Judgement Day
I know that Jesus is waiting, He will guide me all the way

As I travel here, many days are weary
The burdens some times are so hard to bare
But then I see my dear Saviour hanging on a cross
I know that Jesus is waiting for my entrance stay

Jesus is waiting, waiting with a robe and crown
Happy I'll be to lay my Earthly burdens down
For I shall meet Him in Heaven on the Judgement Day
I know that Jesus is waiting, He will guide me all the way

Many times I pray for His love to guide me
Guide me from pitfalls and this Earthly strife
And then I see a light shining through the clouds above
I know that Jesus is waiting with eternal love

Jesus is waiting, waiting with a robe and crown
Happy I'll be to lay my Earthly burdens down
For I shall meet Him in Heaven on the Judgement Day
I know that Jesus is waiting, He will guide me all the way
