Lyrics
I WISH I WAS IN HEAVEN SITTING DOWN
R. L. Burnside
(Chorus)
I wish I was in heaven sitting down
I wish I was in heaven sitting down
O my Lord
I wish I was in heaven sitting down
I wouldn't have to worry no more
I wouldn't have to worry anymore
O Mary, O Martha
I wouldn't have to worry no more
I try on my long white robe
I try on my long white robe
O Mary, O Martha
I try on my long white robe
I wouldn't have to cry anymore
I wouldn't have to cry anymore
O Mary, O Martha
Ain't gonna cry anymore
I worship my Jesus at His feet
I worship King Jesus at His feet
O my Lord
I'm gonna worship King Jesus at His feet
Then I heard an angel call my name
I said I thought I heard my angel call my name
O my Lord
I thought I heard my angel call my name
