I found these lyrics in a Bible my grandmother had left when she passed away. Could have sworn she wrote it as I couldn't find lyrics or the hymn anywhere until I saw this forum.
Here's roughly what she had written, so I imagine this is the same one you meant.
She was strumming it in key of "D" Only knew 3 chords) so D, G, A
No idea of original artist since I could have sworn it was my grandmother before seeing this haha!
Verse
His hands are old and calloused, from fifty years of work
raising beans and cotton, bringing life out of the dirt
But he don't get around, quite like he did back then
That old man knows the secret of being young again
Chorus
One of these days he's going through a change
One of these days he'll never be the same
he's going up to the place where he'll Never again feel pain
One of these days he'll hear Gabriel play, the trumpet sounds he'll fly away
he's going home to stay, one of these days
Verse
Her children are all grown
Now she's all alone
They said she'd be better off if they place her in a home
Sometimes she hears the whisper
They say her mind is gone
but she's not going crazy she's wanting to go home
Chorus
One of these days she's going through a change
one of these days she'll never be the same
going up to a place where she'll never again feel pain
One of these days she'll hear Gabriel play, the trumpet sounds and she'll fly away
she'll be going home to stay, one of these days.
