First verse:
I read my Bible; it tells me what Heaven's like.
The pearly gates and the old time saints- a place we'll never die.
I have assurance because I have been saved.
I need not fear when I'm done down here- I'll end up there that day.
Ooh, yes I know I'll see the angles and streets of
gold, and, oh, he loves me so. That's why I wanna go.
Second verse:
I'm looking forward to all that is in store: the mansion, pride,
and the great delight where love one's gone before.
My greatest longing- the one I want to see- is
Jesus Christ- the lamb who died and gave his life for me.
Eyes have not seen nor heart conceived what he's
prepared, but Jesus is the reason I am going there.
Ooh, yes I know I'll see the angles and streets of gold, and, oh,
he loves me so. That's why I wanna go. Ooh,
yes I know I'll see the angles and streets of gold, and, oh,
he loves me so. That's why I wanna go-o (in minor).
That's why I wanna go-o-o-o. That's why I wanna go.
