Ain't That Good News
(African-American Traditional)
(recorded by Earnest Davis, Jr. & The Wilmington-Chester Mass Choir)


Chorus:

Sopranos:
I've got a home up in that kingdom, yes, yes.
I've got a home up in that kingdom, yes, yes.

Sopranos/Altos:
Sopranos:
I've got a home up in that kingdom, yes, yes.
I've got a home up in that kingdom, yes, yes.

All:
Sopranos:
I've got a home up in that kingdom, yes, yes.
I've got a home up in that kingdom, yes, yes.

Lay down this world,
shoulder up my cross,
take me home to my Jesus,
ain't that good news.

Verse:
I'm gonna tell the story on my way to Glory,
I want to sit at Jesus' feet,
I'm gonna walk those golden streets.

Gates of pearl, streets of gold,
half has never been told,
half has never been told,
half has never been told.

(Lay down this world),
(shoulder up my cross),
(take me home to my Jesus),
(ain't that good news).

Vamp:
Good news,
ain't that good news.

Ending:
Lay down this world,
shoulder up my cross,
take me home to my Jesus,
ain't that good news.
