This song covers John chapters 14-16 as Jesus gives His disciples some last minute instructions before He goes to the cross.

Lyrics

I’m Leavin’ Up to Heaven (to the tune of Leavin’ on a jet plane)

The Father’s will is done, I’m ready to go
A few more things I want you to know
Believe in God, believe also in Me
You see, I’ve got to go away from here
My work is done, please do not fear
Cause where i go, you will be also!

So, let’s stay and talk awhile
I’ll show you how to get through this trial
Listen like you’ve never heard before
Cause I’m leaving up to heaven
I go to prepare a place for you
Oh, please don’t be afraid

Was there ever a time I let you down?
I’ve always been your solid ground
I tell you now, I won’t let you fall!
Even though I go, I’ll be with you
The Comforter, He will live in you
When I come back, I’ll take you home to stay!

So, let’s rest and talk awhile
I’ll show you how to get through this trial
Listen like you’ve never heard before
Cause I’m leaving up to heaven
I go to prepare a place for you
Oh, please don’t be afraid

Now the time has come for me to leave you,
One more prayer to love as I do
lift your eyes, my hour has finally come
Be strong and bold as the day draws near
And when I rise, it will all be clear
I can’t wait to see you all again!

So, stay with me and pray awhile
You can help me get through this trial
Watch and pray like you’ve never done before

Cause I’m leaving up to heaven, I go to prepare a place for you
Cause I’m leaving up to heaven, I go to prepare a place for you
Cause I’m leaving up to heaven, I go to prepare a place for you

Oh, please don’t be afraid
