Good ol days 3

Everybody’s talking ’bout the good ol’ days,

The days gone by, the old familiar ways.

They talk about the times that used to be,

And all the memories that they long to see.

But I’ve got news for this old heart of mine,

The best days aren’t somewhere back in time.

There’s a better day that’s waiting up ahead,

Where every tear will finally have been shed.

The good ol’ days are ahead,

Not behind us like some people say.

There’s a brand-new morning waiting,

At the end of this long, hard way.

When Jesus calls me home to glory,

And I see Him face to face,

With my family gathered around me,

Oh, what a glorious place!

The good ol’ days are ahead,

Yes, they’re waiting just beyond the blue.

I’ve got heaven on my mind tonight,

And I know that day is coming true.

I’ve walked through valleys, I’ve carried some pain,

I’ve cried some tears in the pouring rain.

I’ve known the heartache this old world can bring,

But through every battle, Jesus was my King.

My Lord, my Savior, the One who died for me,

He broke my chains and He set this captive free.

He gave me hope when I had none left to find,

And now I’m looking toward that finish line.

The good ol’ days are ahead,

Not behind us like some people say.

There’s a brand-new morning waiting,

At the end of this long, hard way.

When Jesus calls me home to glory,

And I see Him face to face,

With my family gathered around me,

Oh, what a glorious place!

The good ol’ days are ahead,

Yes, they’re waiting just beyond the blue.

I’ve got heaven on my mind tonight,

And I know that day is coming true.

Oh, I want to see Him!

The One who gave His life for me.

Oh, I want to see Him!

The One who died at Calvary.

And yes, I want to see my family,

And hear those voices once again.

No more goodbye, no more sorrow,

No more suffering, no more pain

They say, “Those were the good ol’ days.”

But I say, “You ain’t seen nothing yet!”

There’s a day coming down the road

That this old world can’t compare with!

The good ol’ days are ahead!

Hallelujah, they’re waiting for me!

There’s a home on high prepared for me,

And someday that’s where I’ll be.

When Jesus calls me from this old world,

I’ll lay these burdens down.

I’ll walk through those pearly gates,

And hear that trumpet sound!

The good ol’ days are ahead!

Every promise is gonna come true.

I’ll see my Savior,

I’ll see my family,

And I’ll know I finally made it through!

Yes, the good ol’ days are ahead!

The best is yet to come!

My eyes are fixed on Jesus,

And I’m headed for my heavenly home!
