Heaven on my mind I started with jesus at a very early age Yes, i’ve known him nearly all of my life I admit there have been times when i faltered along the way But i’ll keep trying because somehow i’ve got to make it in You see, i’ve got a charge on my life and i’ve got a job to Do, and i can’t stop until it’s through
I’m determined, i’ve got a made up mind I can’t stand around wasting my time I’m gonna keep on working for jesus every day of my life Cause i’ve got heaven on my mind
I don’t have time to waste criticizing someone else There are some things i’d rather leave behind And i don’t have time to be bothered with “he said”, “she said”, that, “they said” ‘cause it’s all i can do to keep my own self in line I must work while it’s day, for the night is surely coming, I’m going all the way
I’m determined, i’ve got a made up mind I can’t stand around wasting my time I’m gonna keep on working for jesus every day of my life Cause i’ve got heaven on my mind
I can’t understand how some people can move so slow Maybe they don’t know just what time it is He’s coming back and i know it won’t be long I’ve gotta be ready, i gotta be ready, for my starry crown I wanna hear him say, i wanna him say, well done
You can talk about me, say what you wanna say You can stand around wasting your time While your talking, i’m gonna keep on walking Cause i’ve got a heaven on my mind
You can talk about me, say what you wanna say You can stand around wasting your time While your talking, i’m gonna keep on walking Cause i’ve got a heaven on my mind
