I've Changed My Address to Heaven

When I changed my address to Heaven

and bid the world good-bye,

I shall live forever with Jesus

in my home above the skies.

I shall have no burdens, no heartaches,

and from tears I shall be free.

When I've changed my address to Heaven,

That's the place you'll find me.
