Good news, Chariot’s comin’
Good news, Chariot’s comin’
Good news, Chariot’s comin’
And I don’t want it to leave me behind

Good news, Chariot’s comin’
Good news, Chariot’s comin’
Good news, Chariot’s comin’
And I don’t want it to leave me behind

There’s a long white robe in Heaven I know
(There’s a long white robe in Heaven I know)
There’s a long white robe in Heaven I know
And I don’t want it to leave me behind

Good news, Chariot’s comin’
Good news, Chariot’s comin’
Good news, Chariot’s comin’
And I don’t want it to leave me behind

There’s a starry crown in Heaven I know
(There’s a starry crown in Heaven I know)
There’s a starry crown in Heaven I know
And I don’t want it to leave me behind

Good news, Chariot’s comin’
Good news, Chariot’s comin’
Good news, Chariot’s comin’
And I don’t want it to leave me behind

There’s a golden harp in Heaven I know
(There’s a golden harp in Heaven I know)
There’s a golden harp in Heaven I know
And I don’t want to leave it behind

Good news, Chariot’s comin’
Good news, good news, Chariot’s comin’
Good, good news, Chariot’s comin’
And I don’t want it to leave me behind

I could find no information about the author of this song – as it is part of the musical legacy created by slaves  during the Underground Railroad period.  There are about 47 such songs – including Swing Low Sweet Chariot.  The date of origin is unknown – and in addition – there are many variations to the verses.  This wonderful genre of music is known as the Spiritual.

Isaiah 66:15

For, behold, the Lord will come with fire, and with His chariots like a whirlwind, to render His anger with fury, and His rebuke with flames of fire.
