If You Leave This World

IF YOU LEAVE THIS WORLD

If you leave this world before I do,

Don't leave me things I cannot use.

Leave me memories of loving you.

Leave me hope we'll meet again

Leave me peace that comes from heav'n

Don't leave me things I cannot use,

Leave me memories of loving you.

Leave me dreams, pure and sweet,

Of your mansion in glory

Where you sit at Jesus' feet.

Don't leave me things I cannot use,

Leave me memories of loving you.

Leave me behind ere you go

'Til we meet again at heav'n's door;

Don't look back but onward go

Into Jesus' arms in heav'n's glow.

If you leave this world before I do,

Don't leave me things I cannot use.

Leave me memories of loving you.
