A Little Spot in Heaven

Marty Robbins · Country (1960-1966) [1996]

I don't ask you Lord, to lighten up my burden

I don't mind the trials on earth that I go through

Beyond doubt, I want to prove that I am worthy

Of a little spot in Heaven close to you.



Years ago my Mother taught me all your meaning

Of the hardship and the pain that you went through

Know you Lord, that I am ready and I'm waiting

For a little spot in Heaven close to you.



Precious Lord, forget me not, don't pass me by

Though there must be others worthier than I

If you can then, Lord, here's what I'll have you do

Save a little spot in Heaven close to you.



If my wish is more than I deserve, forgive me

Up in Heaven any place would surely do

But I've done my best on earth that's why I'm asking, oh Lord

For a little spot in Heaven close to you.



At the altar years ago we got aquainted

And as time went on the love in my heart grew

If it isn't asking too much Lord, then save me

Just a little spot in Heaven close to you...
