Lyric

I’ll have a new life
On that resurrection morningWhen all dead in Christ shall riseI’ll have a new bodyPraise the Lord, I’ll have a new life
Won’t it be so bright and fairWhen we meet our loved ones there?I’ll have a new bodyPraise the Lord, I’ll have a new life
I’ll have a new home of glory eternal (praise the Lord)Where the redeemed of God shall standThere’ll be no more sorrow (no more pain)There’ll be no more strife
Raised in the likeness of my Savior (in His likeness)Ready to live in ParadiseI’ll have a new bodyPraise the Lord, I’ll have a new life
When old Gabriel blows his trumpetAnd we walk the streets of goldI’ll have a new bodyPraise the Lord, I’ll have a new life
No more pain, worry, sorrowIn this wicked world of sinI’ll have a new bodyPraise the Lord, I’ll have a new life
I’ll have a new home of glory eternal (praise the Lord)Where the redeemed of God shall standThere’ll be no more sorrow, no more painThere’ll be no more strife
Raised in the likeness of my Savior (in His likeness)Ready to live in ParadiseI’ll have a new bodyPraise the Lord, I’ll have a new life
Oh dear brother, are you livingFor that day when Christ shall comeI’ll have a new bodyPraise the Lord, I’ll have a new life
Graves all bursting, Saints a-shoutingHeavenly beauty all aroundI’ll have a new bodyPraise the Lord, I’ll have a new life
I’ll have a new home of glory eternal (praise the Lord)Where the redeemed of God shall standThere’ll be no more sorrow, no more painThere’ll be no more strife
Raised in the likeness of my Savior (in His likeness)Ready to live in ParadiseI’ll have a new bodyPraise the Lord, I’ll have a new life

“FOUR VOICES, A CENTURY OF HISTORY — AND NOT A SINGLE NOTE WASTED.” There was no countdown, no flashing neon lights. Just four giants sitting in the glow of a fading fire, letting the old year slip away with a gentle nod. Their guitars rested easy on their knees, worn smooth by decades of travel. They didn’t play to impress; they played to remember. They sang of dusty roads, broken hearts, and the kind of faith you only find after losing everything else. You could hear the years in their harmonies—not as a burden, but as a badge of honor. It felt like the world stopped spinning, just for a moment, to listen to its own heartbeat. Country music wasn’t shouting to be heard; it was simply breathing.

The Day the Music Died: A New Year’s Tragedy. On New Year’s Day, 1953, the world lost a legend in the back seat of a Cadillac. Hank Williams, only 29 years old, left behind a legacy that changed country music forever. With 35 Top 10 Billboard hits—including timeless classics like “Cold, Cold Heart” and “Hey, Good Lookin’”—his success was undeniable. Yet, a haunting shadow hangs over his untimely passing. In a twist of dark irony, his last single released during his lifetime was titled “I’ll Never Get Out of This World Alive.” Was it a premonition? The events leading up to that lonely highway drive are as heartbreaking as “Your Cheatin’ Heart.”

““HE WASN’T A LEGEND HERE — HE WAS JUST DAD.” Under the soft chapel lights, the applause finally stopped. There were no flashing cameras, just the heavy silence of a family clinging to a frayed black-and-white photo. To the world, he was a headline, a golden voice that sold out arenas. But in this quiet room? He was simply the man who hummed off-key while fixing the porch swing on Sundays. He was the laughter echoing in the kitchen, not the radio star. Someone whispered through tears, “The world borrowed him, but we got to keep his real heart.” Fame fades into history, but the quiet love of a father? That silence spoke louder than any standing ovation ever could.”
