Betty showed me with her eyes
All the pain her limp body tried to hide
I knew the Lord would take her soon
Selfishly I prayed He'd wait awhile
But I knew that she'd get back her smile, when
She checked in to the Hotel Hallelujah
She'll lay down on a bed of gentle grace
There's no end to the love that's rushin' thru ya
In this sacred and most Holy Place
Daddy never made a fuss
He left all the cryin' up to us
I saw that he was fading fast
He said: "Don't shed a tear for me, my boy"
But I knew that he would cry for joy
When he checked in to the Hotel Hallelujah
He'll lay down on a bed of gentle grace
There's no end to the love that's rushin' thru ya
In this sacred and most Holy Place
Leave a world of so much loss that we must grieve
And finally find a place that no one has to leave
When we check in to the Hotel Hallelujah
We'll lay down on a bed of gentle grace
There's no end to the love that's rushin' thru ya
In this sacred and most Holy Place
