Song Lyrics Today I saw the strangest thing: a smiling little man
Was banging with a hammer on his swollen, bleeding hand;
I thought he must be crazy, and I went to call a cop,
But he said, “It feels so good when I stop.”
•
(chorus)
My sins have been forgiven, and now I won’t have to die;
I’ll just leave this old world behind, and live with Him on high;
This heart will keep on beating, till the final curtain drops,
But I’m gonna feel so good when it stops.

This world is often filled with pain, and tears along the way;
Sometimes we think we just can’t make it through another day!
Our joy turns into misery, our triumphs into flops...
But we’ll feel so relieved when it stops!
•
(chorus)
My sins have been forgiven, and now I won’t have to die;
I’ll just leave this old world behind, and live with Him on high;
This heart will keep on beating, till the final curtain drops,
And I’m gonna feel so good when it stops.

There’s earaches, backaches, headaches, heartaches, pain that drives us mad;
It’s hard to think there’ll ever be a reason to be glad.
But if we give it all to Him, we’ll reach that mountaintop
With nothing left to fear when they stop.
•
(chorus)
My sins have been forgiven, and now I won’t have to die;
I’ll just leave this old world behind, and live with Him on high;
This heart will keep on beating, till the final curtain drops,
And I’m gonna feel so good when it stops.
•
(ending)
This world will go on spinning, till that final curtain drops,
And I’m gonna feel much better when it stops!
