One day I'll leave this place
My name upon a stone
But I won't be in the grave
No, I'll be safe at home
If this life was all I had
How dark the way would be
But there's joy along the path
For Heaven waits for me
Thank God (Thank God) for the blessed Hope
Thank God (Thank God) I'm ready to go
I'll spend forever in His presence I know
Thank God, thank God for the blessed Hope
I've had to say goodbye
To loved ones I hold dear
But sweet peace fills up my mind
Though I've shed many tears
For I'm told within God's word
Reunion soon will come
Hallelujah, rest assured
His promise will be done
Thank God (Thank God) for the blessed Hope
Thank God (Thank God) I'm ready to go
I'll spend forever in His presence I know
Thank God, thank God for the blessed Hope
I'll spend forever in His presence I know
His presence I know
Thank God, thank God for the blessed Hope
The blessed Hope!
