Rose Maddox - When I Take My Vacation In Heaven lyrics

rate me

There so many are taking vacations to the mountains and lakes and the sea

Where they rest from their cares and their worries

What a wonderful time that must be

But it seems not my luck to be like them I must toil through the heat and the cold

Seeking out the lost sheep on the mountains bringing wanderers back to the fold

When I take my vacation in heaven what a wonderful time that will be

Hearing concerts by the heavenly chorus and the face of my Saviour I'll see

Sitting down on the banks of the river neath the shade of the evergreen tree

I shall rest from my burdens forever won't you spend your vacation with me

[ steel ]

Now someday I shall take my vacation to the city John tells us about

With its foundation walk oh so precious with the gladness of heart I shall shout

All those sights ever witness by mortals can compare with the glory up there

I shall spend my vacation with Jesus in the place he went on to prepare

When I take my vacation in heaven...
