Verse 1:
Long time ago
I heard a long old story
About a king who came from glory
Starting wearing the clothes of a man
To see what it was like down here
I guess he really didn't like this rat place
He said I'm gonna build a better place
With a note and invitation
Don't you wanna come along
Chorus:
I'm gonna jump across Jordan
Step on the shore
I wont have to worry anymore
Cant wait to hear those angels singing in the heavenly choir
I'm gonna hook up with my old friends
And talk about how we all made it in
And let me go and find out
What heaven's really all about
I'm gonna shout
Verse 2:
I lived a good life here yes I know
But it wont be long till I go
Gonna trip up like I've never been
To a place that I've never seen yea
What u really wait on my mind now
I'm gonna tell everybody somehow
About the happy ever after life now
Don't you wanna come along
Chorus: x2
I'm gonna jump across Jordan
Step on the shore
I wont have to worry anymore
Cant wait to hear those angels singing in the heavenly choir
I'm gonna hook up with my old friends
And talk about how we all made it in
And let me go and find out
What heaven's really all about
I'm gonna shout
O I'm gonna shout x2
