I love to hear those good old songs they sing unto the Lord
I love to play my old guitar with them in one accord
I'm looking forward to the day when I'll reach glory land
I'll have a harp with golden strings to play with the angel band

I'm gonna trade my old guitar for a harp with golden strings
I'm gonna play like David did unto my Lord in pain
We'll gather round the great white throne and make the heaven's ring
I'm gonna trade my old guitar for a harp with golden strings

I hear songs of every time, that gives my heart a trill
Songs of love and happiness and songs about the hills
But of all the songs I've ever heard, there's none that can compare
To the songs I'll help the angels sing when I get over there

I'm gonna trade my old guitar for a harp with golden strings
I'm gonna play like David did unto my Lord in pain
We'll gather round the great white throne and make the heaven's ring
I'm gonna trade my old guitar for a harp with golden strings

I'm gonna trade my old guitar for a harp with golden strings
