I had this on tape but don't remember who was singing it. We had a young man sing it in church this week-end. It is a beautiful song and brings tears to my eyes every time I hear it.

Verse 2
Her hands were so feeble
Her voice was so low
But she still had a smile on her face
She said "I hear singing
O they're waiting for me"
Then she looked up to Heaven and said

The version I know in Verse 2 is

Her hand were feeble
Her body so weak
But she still had a smile on her face
She said I hear singing
They're coming for me
She looked up to heaven and said
Oh look what i traded for a mansion
Oh look what im leavin behind
Oh look who'll be there to meet me
When i step into Gods paradise
Im leaving behing all my sarrows
Im leaving behind all myt cares
I've traded them all for a mansion
That Jesus has gone to prepare.

I sang this song to my Mom while she was dying, this song has always givin me comfort.

There was a duet sung by Dave Eubanks and Tim Moxley of this song. I have it on a cassette tape so it was obviously made at least 15 years ago. They do a good rendition of it.

It was written by Paul Chitwood of Winfield Tn. His wife passed away from cancer many years ago and he and his boys sing it.
