When I was a child I recall and old man; everybody loved old Zeke
He was all alone, his family was gone; one day he said to me

I’m just sittin’ here thinkin’ about Jesus, rockin’ as my old chair creaks
Some glad day I’ll fly away when Jesus comes calling for me
It might be today, it might be tomorrow, maybe one day next week
I’ll soon be done with trouble and sorrow when He comes calling for me
When Jesus comes calling for me

When I die don’t grieve and cry
Lordy, don’t feel sorry for me
Oh what a day, what a mighty fine day
When Jesus comes calling for me
When He comes calling for me

I might be in the graveyard walking talking to my family
Or I might be plowing in the field down yonder, just old Muley and me
Wherever I am, whatever I’m a doing, some sweet day I’ll see
And band of angels in a cloud of glory when Jesus comes calling for me
When He comes calling for me

When I die just close my eyes
And lay me ‘neath the willow tree
Oh what a day, what a mighty fine day
When Jesus comes calling for me
When Jesus comes calling for me

I’m just sittin’ here watchin’ for Jesus, rockin’ as my old chair creaks
Some sweet day I’ll fly away when Jesus comes calling for me
When He comes calling for me
