I've Got My One-Way Ticket to the Sky Lyrics

When we hear ol' Gabriel's trumpet blow
And we know the hand of God is surely nigh
My new hallelujah song I'll sing
Shouting praises to the King
I've got my one way ticket to the sky.

I've got my one way ticket to the sky
And happy, oh, happy am I
Walk with Jesus in the Holy Land
Shake my, my dad and mother's hand
I've got my one way ticket to the sky.

Soon the pearly gates will open wide
And the Saviour will lead us safe inside
God will wipe away our tears
No more sorrow no more fears
I've got my one way ticket to the sky.

I've got my one way ticket to the sky
And happy, oh, happy am I
Walk with Jesus in the Holy Land
Shake my, my dad and mother's hand
I've got my one way ticket to the sky.

There's a mansion waiting for me there
That my Savior has built for me on high
How the tears of joy now flow
As I gladly onward go
I've got my one way ticket to the sky.

I've got my one way ticket to the sky
Happy, oh, happy am I
Walk with Jesus in the Holy Land
Shake my, my dad and mother's hand
I've got my one way ticket to the sky...

Move It On Over

When we hear ol' Gabriel's trumpet blow
And we know the hand of God is surely nigh
My new hallelujah song I'll sing
Shouting praises to the King
I've got my one way ticket to the sky.

I've got my one way ticket to the sky
And happy, oh, happy am I
Walk with Jesus in the Holy Land
Shake my, my dad and mother's hand
I've got my one way ticket to the sky.

Soon the pearly gates will open wide
And the Saviour will lead us safe inside
God will wipe away our tears
No more sorrow no more fears
I've got my one way ticket to the sky.

I've got my one way ticket to the sky
And happy, oh, happy am I
Walk with Jesus in the Holy Land
Shake my, my dad and mother's hand
I've got my one way ticket to the sky.

There's a mansion waiting for me there
That my Savior has built for me on high
How the tears of joy now flow
As I gladly onward go
I've got my one way ticket to the sky.

I've got my one way ticket to the sky
Happy, oh, happy am I
Walk with Jesus in the Holy Land
Shake my, my dad and mother's hand
I've got my one way ticket to the sky...

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
