I’ll Be There (Garey)

Oft I’ve heard my mo­ther tell

Of a home she loved so well

And her last words soft­ly fell

I’ll be there!

Where the an­gels sweet­ly sing

And their harps with mu­sic ring

In the pal­ace of the King

I’ll be there.

I’ll be there

yes I’ll be there

I’ll be there

yes I’ll be there

Where the an­gels sweet­ly sing

And their harps with mu­sic ring

In the pal­ace of the King

I’ll be there.

Just across the crys­tal sea

Mother’s sweet­ly call­ing me

And my an­swer soon shall be

I’ll be there;

What a meet­ing that will be

When my mo­ther’s face I see

For ’tis ’thro eter­ni­ty

I’ll be there.

Over on the peace­ful shore

There my Sav­ior I’ll ad­ore

With His hand to guide me o’er

I’ll be there!

With the an­gels’ hap­py band

We will walk the gold­en strand

In that fair and hap­py land

I’ll be there.

Angels watch the pear­ly gate

There’s a mes­sage to relate

I’ve not long on earth to wait

I’ll be there;

Up the glit­ter­ing streets I’ll wend

There to meet de­part­ed friend

In a world that ne’er shall end

I’ll be there.
