Some day when my last line is written, some day when I've drawn my last breath

I have the lyrics to this song, I can't find the artist's name or recording.
The lyrics are:
Some day when my last line is written,
Some day when I've drawn my last breath.
When my last words on earth have been spoken,
And my lips are sealed in death.
Don't look on my cold form in pity,
don't think of me as one dead,
It'll just be the house I once lived in,
My spirit by then will have fled

I'll have finished my time here allotted,
but I won't be in darkenss alone.
I will have heard from Heaven,
The summons to come on home.
And when my body is in the grave,
Don't think that I will be there,
I wond't be dead, but living,
In the place Jesus went to prepare.

And after all is said and done,
Know that my last earnest prayer
Is that my loved ones be ready
Some day to meet me there.

I think Alison Krauss and Union Station sang this on a PBS special.
It's a wonderful testimony to share with those you love. My husband really liked this song even before we found out he was terminally ill. he passed away a year ago... this song still makes me smile because I know one of his greatest desires was to see all his family saved and going to heaven.
God Bless.

Some Day
RECORDED BY BLUE HIGHWAY
(Words, Olive Stockton-Music, Tim Stafford/ Daniel House Music , BMI)

Some day when my last line is written
Some day when I've drawn my last breath
When my last words on earth have been spoken
And my lips are sealed in death:

Don't look on my cold form in pity
Don't think of me as one dead
It will just be the house I once lived in
My spirit by then will have fled

I'll have finished my time here allotted
But I won't be in darkness alone
I will have heard from heaven
The summons to come on home

And when my body is in the grave
Don't think that I'll be there
I won't be dead, but living
In the place Jesus went to prepare

And after all is said and done
Know that my last earnest prayer
Was that my loved ones be ready
Some day to meet me there
