The day my body sleeps, I would be free
I would have left this prison
That the world calls me
I would dance with the angels
I will laugh with my saviour
The day my body sleeps, I would be free

The day my body sleeps, I would be raised
From the sorrows of the world
I would be saved
I would be higher than sickness
Trials, temptations and weakness
The day my body sleeps, I would be raised

The day my body sleeps, the Comforter would be there
I may have been caring
But my God is ever the more near
To wipe your teary eyes
To comfort your scared soul
The day my body sleeps, the Comforter would be there

The day my body sleeps , I pray you understand
That you might have been seeing a body
But that was just a house
And I have packed out
So please, let happiness flood your heart
The day my body sleeps, I pray you understand

That my body was never really me.
