Do Lord, oh, do Lord, oh, do remember me,
Do Lord, oh do Lord, oh, do remember me,
Do Lord, oh, do Lord, oh, do remember me,
Way beyond the blue.
I've got a home in Gloryland that outshines the sun,
I've got a home in Gloryland that outshines the sun,
I've got a home in Gloryland that outshines the sun,
Do Lord, oh, do Lord, oh, do remember me,
Do Lord, oh do Lord, oh, do remember me,
Do Lord, oh, do Lord, oh, do remember me,
Way beyond the blue.
I took Jesus as my Savior, you take him too,
I took Jesus as my Savior, you take him too,
I took Jesus as my Savior, you take him too,
While he's calling you.
Do Lord, oh, do Lord, oh, do remember me,
Do Lord, oh do Lord, oh, do remember me,
Do Lord, oh, do Lord, oh, do remember me,
Way beyond the blue.
