WHEN I TAKE MY VACATION IN HEAVEN Sung by: Ollie Gilbert Recorded in Mountain View, AR by George Fisher Click here to listen to the original recording O'er the mountain, the lake or the sea, Where they rest from their care and their worry. What a wonderful time that must be. But it seems like my lot to be like them, I must toil through the heat and the cold, Seeking out the lost sheep in the mountain Bringing wanderers back to the fold. Chorus: When I take my vacation in heaven, What a wonderful time that will be. Hear the concert of the heavenly chorus; And the face of my savior I’ll see. Sitting down on the bank of the river, Beneath the shade of the evergreen tree. When I take my vacation in heaven, Won’t you spend your vacation with me? Some day I will take my vacation To the city John tells us about, Where the foundation walls, all so precious From the gladness of heart I shall shout. No sight ever witnessed by mortal Can compare with His glory up there. I will spend my vacation with Jesus, In the place he’s gone on to prepare. (Chorus) When so many takes their vacations And return to their home by and by, When I take my vacation in heaven, To the glorious home in the sky, There I’ll live forever, No wish for elsewhere to be. When I take my vacation in heaven, Won’t you spend your vacation with me? (Chorus) |
