Some people are taking vacations traveling both far and near
A7 D7
Never stopping to think about Jesus never seeming to have a care
G C G
It seems that I cannot be like them while on earth life's burdens I bear
C G D7 G
And I prepare to meet Jesus and rest eternally there
C G
Yes someday I'll take a vacation one that never will end
A7 D7
When I cross old river Jordan my Savior will welcome me in
G C G
For me the gates will swing open and I'll have a mansion within
C G D7 G
There I will rest up in heaven a rest that never will end
C G
Yes some people own fine mansions some live in much luxury
A7 D7
Never having a thought of our Savior of where they'll spend eternity
G C G
Again though I cannot be like them I'm building my mansion on high
C G D7 G
Yes someday I'll rest up in heaven and bid this old cruel world goodbye
C G
Yes someday I'll take a vacation one that never will end
A7 D7
When I cross old river Jordan my Savior will welcome me in
G C G
For me the gates will swing open and I'll have a mansion within
C G D7 G
There I will rest up in heaven a rest that never will end
