Eternal Vacation

Lyrics

Some people are taking vacation Traveling both far and near Ever stop and think about Jesus Ever see him to have a care It seems that I cannot be like them While on earth life's burdens I bear And I prepare to meet Jesus And rest eternaly there Yes, someday I'll take a vacation One that never will end When I'll cross old river Jordan My Saviour will welcome me in For me the gates will swing open And I'll have a mansion within There I will rest up in heaven A rest that never will end --- Instrumental --- Yes, some people own fine mansions Some live in much luxury Never having a thought about Saviour Of where they'll spend eternity And though I cannot be like them I'm building my mansion on high Yes, someday I'll rest up in heaven And leave this old cruel world, goodbye Yes, someday I'll take a vacation One that never will end When I'll cross old river Jordan My Saviour will welcome me in For me the gates will swing open And I'll have a mansion within There I will rest up in heaven A rest that never will end...
