I'm thinking of friends whom I used to know Who lived and suffered in this world below They're gone up to heaven, but I want to know What are they doing there now? What are they doing in heaven today Where sin and sorrow have all gone away? Peace is flowing like a river, they say Oh, what are they doing there now? There are some whose hearts were burdened with care They spent their moments all frightened and scared They clung to the cross in trembling and fear But what are they doing there now? What are they doing in heaven today
Where sin and sorrow have all gone away? Peace is flowing like a river, they say Oh, what are they doing there now? There's some who were poor and often despised Who looked up towards heaven with tear-blinded eyes The people were heedless and deaf to their cries But what are they doing there now? What are they doing in heaven today Where sin and sorrow have all gone away? Peace is flowing like a river, they say Oh, what are they doing there now? But what are they doing there now?
