I have posted the Lyrics here, enjoy!

This song that talks about our home in heaven and a little bit about what it may be like when we get there. Thanks to Guitmartiman for recording this for me.

Here are the Lyrics:

I Wanna Go To Heaven"

VERSE 1
I wanna go to Heaven, and pick a never fading flower,
From the mountain overlooking the temple of my God.
I wanna go to Heaven, where all is light and glory,
How I long to be with Jesus! How I long to be with God!

CHORUS
Some times I think that I could stay here no longer.
I feel very lonely here, for I've seen a better land!
Oh! That I had wings like a dove,
Then would I fly away, and be at rest.

VERSE 2
I wanna go to Heaven, I wanna hear the voice of Jesus,
"You have washed your robes in my blood, stood stiffly for my truth."
And when I get to Heaven I'll cast my crown at Jesus feet!
I wanna praise His name forever!
He has done so much for me!

VERSE 3
I wanna go to Heaven, I wanna hear the voice of Jesus,
"I will gird myself and serve you, for you suffered much for me."
And when I get to Heaven I wanna sit at Jesus' table!
Oh! To eat the fruit of that land,
To go back to earth no more!

Thanks again to Guitarmartiman for telling me how to post them right here on youtube!

Yes it is. Who are you?

[suterra23]

Would you have any idea how this song would be played on the ukulele?

[lladnekj]

I have no idea, I don't play the Ukulele but if it would help I could post the chords up.

[chriaus]

I love this song, I heard it when David and Violetta sang casually by the beach. Would I be able to ask for the chords to this song? And even the words, cos, there were some words that I didn't quite get..

[lladnekj]

I did post the words in the video info, as far as the chords go, I don't know what they are all called. but I could try to make chord charts for the ones that I don't know. It just might take me a while to get to it.

[ZagsBJ]

This song is really beautiful. I like the way you play the guitar. Can you post the chord or tab up.

Anyhow, thank you that you post this song.
