When my last song is sung and my life's work is done

And my old faithful guitar loses tone

You won't find me troubled then, wishing I could sing again

When my last song is sung I'll be gone

What a gift the Lord has shared with a man who never cared

Claiming every note I'd written for my own

So before it comes my time there's a song of thanks in line

Before my Lord and Savior calls me home

Let me sing a song for Jesus every day

For he's the one who guides me every step of the way

He's my soul inspiration and the one who guides my pen

So let the last song I sing be for him
