had an old friend call me up this morning Telling me about how he had changed His life's not the same Warning me about a place So far away from heaven's grace And how life is no simple game I thought about it, laughed out loud Only fools would dare reject it I decided to just accept it I thought about it and i sang this song Thought about the day when I'd be singing to you all day long Chorus: 'cause i wanna spend it with you I wanna live in the service of heaven I wanna spend it with you From eternity to forever Got another call from a friend this morning Telling me i didn't have to wait 'til i walked through the gates That heaven's with me everyday And every step along the way I take with me takes I thought about it, laughed out loud How much better could this get I've barely even started yet
I thought about it and i smiled so wide Now i can spend everyday walking close to jesus' side Chorus: 'cause i wanna spend it with you I wanna wake up and say good morning I wanna spend it with you I wanna know in your heart that you're with me Called up my old friend this morning Telling him about how i had changed My life's just not the same Warning him about a place So far away from heaven's grace And how life is no simple game He thought about it, he laughed out loud Only fools would dare reject it He decided to accept it He thought about it and said that he Only wished i didn't wait To call him up and tell him this Chorus: 'cause i wanna spend it with you I wanna walk streets of gold together I wanna spend it with you From eternity to forever
