Lyrics by：RR

Composed by：Ron Staples

Tell heaven

Now you tell heaven

I am coming

I'm coming on home

Oh one day

Just tell my heaven my heavenly king

Just tell him that I'm coming on the morning train

Tell heaven

Whoa-oh tell heaven

I am coming

Hey I'll be a' home one day

Tell heaven I'm coming on home one day

Tell my father

Now you tell father

I am coming

I'm coming on home

Oh one day

Well I've been 'buked Lord I've been scorned

Yeah I have been talked about sure as you born

Tell father

Whoa whoa tell father

I am coming

Yeah I'll be a' home one day

Tell father I'm coming on home one day

Whoa the river

Lord knows the river

Where the sun

That evening sun

Will never go down

'Cross on my shoulder sword in my hand

I'm going down fighting in Jesus' name

Whoa the river

Whoa whoa the river

Where the sun

That evening sun go down

Lord know the sun will never go down

I'm gonna choose

Lord I'm gonna choose

Choose my seat

Gonna choose my seat

And sit down

Lord I'm gonna choose my seat and sit down

Gonna have my love from a starry crown

Then I'm gonna write my Lord a letter

Gonna tell him this world ain't getting no better

Then I'm gonna call him on my phone

Tell Jesus I need you in my home

Tell heaven

Yeah-ay tell heaven

I am coming

Hey I'll be a' home one day

Tell heaven I'm coming on home one day

Lord my burden

Lord knows my burden

Seems so heavy

So hard to bear

Hard to bear

Lord knows my burdens seem hard to bear

Lord when I get to heaven I got a crown to wear

Whoa my burden

Whoa-oh my burden

Seems so heavy

Lord know so hard to bear

You know my burden seems hard to bear

Tell my mother

Now you tell mother

I am coming

I'm coming on home

Oh one day

Just tell my mother now don't she cry

She know her little child was born to die

Tell mother

Whoa-oh tell mother

I am coming

Hey I'll be a' home one day

Tell mother I'm coming on home one day

I haven't been to heaven but I've been told

That streets in heaven they shone like gold

Tell heaven

Whoa-oh tell heaven

I am coming

Hey I'll be a' home one day

Tell heaven I'm coming on home one day
