What are they doing in heaven today, |
|
Where sin and sorrow are all done away? |
|
Peace abounds like a river, they say. |
|
What are they doing there now? |
|
I'm thinking of friends whom I used to know, |
|
Who lived and suffered in this world below |
|
But they've gone off to heaven, but I want to know |
|
What are they doing there now? |
|
what are they doing in heaven today, |
|
Where sin and sorrow are all done away? |
|
Peace abounds like a river, they say. |
|
But what are they doing there now? |
|
There's some whose hearts were burdened with care |
|
They paid for their moment to fighting and tears |
|
But they clung to the cross with trembling and fear |
|
But what are they doing there now? |
|
What are they doing in heaven today, |
|
Where sin and sorrow are all done away? |
|
Peace abounds like a river, they say. |
|
What are they doing there now? |
|
And there's some whose bodies were full of disease |
|
Physicians and doctors couldn't give them much ease |
|
But they suffered 'til death brought a final release |
|
But what are they doing there now? |
|
What are they doing in heaven today, |
|
Where sin and sorrow are all done away? |
|
Peace abounds like a river, they say. |
|
What are they doing there now? |
|
There's some who were poor and often despised |
|
They looked up to heaven with tear-blinded eyes |
|
While people were heedless and deaf to their cries |
|
But what are they doing there now? |
|
What are they doing in heaven today, |
|
Where sin and sorrow are all done away? |
|
Peace abounds like a river, they say. |
|
What are they doing there now? |
