What Are They Doing In Heaven Today - Mavis Staples
I'm thinking of friends
Whom I used to know
Who lived and suffered
In this world below
But they've gone off to heaven
But I want to know
What are they doing there now
Oh what are they doing
In heaven today
Sin and sorrow are
All done away
Peace abounds like a river they say
What are they doing there now
There's some whose hearts
Were burdened with care
They paid for their moment
With fighting and tears
They clung to the
Cross trembling in fear
But what are they
Doing there now
What are they doing
In heaven today
Sin and sorrow
Are all done away
Peace abounds like a river they say
What are they doing there now
There's some whose
Bodies were full of disease
Physicians and doctors couldn't
Give them much ease
They suffered 'til death
Brought a final release
What are they doing there now
What are they doing in heaven today
Sin and sorrow are all done away
Peace abounds like a river they say
What are they doing there now
There's some who were poor
And often despised
They looked up to heaven
With tear-blinded eyes
While people were heedless
And deaf to their cries
What are they doing there now
What are they doing in heaven today
Sin and sorrow are all done away
Peace abounds like a river they say
What are they doing there now
What are they doing in heaven today
Sin and sorrow are all done away
Peace abounds like a river they say
What are they doing there now
