Some people are taking vacation traveling both far and near
Ever stop and think about Jesus ever say him to have a care
It seems that I cannot be like them while on earth life's burdens I bear
And I prepare to meet Jesus and rest eternaly there
Yes someday I'll take a vacation one that never will end
When I'll cross old river Jordan my Saviour will welcome me in
For me the gates will swing open and I'll have a mansion within
There I will rest up in heaven a rest that never will end
[ guitar ]
Yes some people own fine mansions some live in much luxury
Ever having a thought about Saviour of where they'll spend eternity
And though I cannot be like them I'm building my mansion on high
Yes someday I'll rest up in heaven and leave this old cruel world goodbye
Yes someday I'll take a vacation
