I'll Be Going To Heaven Sometime

A saint on that shore
Are the center left far behind?
Don't you think of your soul
And want to be saved
Don't you want to go to Heaven sometime?
Sometimes, sometimes
I'll be going to Heaven sometime
God is leading the way and I can't go astray
I'll be going to Heaven sometime
God is watching each day
He knows each time you pray
He's counting your blessings too
Just do as He commands
And trust His guiding hand
And you'll be going to Heaven sometime
Sometimes, sometimes
I'll be going to Heaven sometime
God is leading the way and I can't go astray
I'll be going to Heaven sometime
God has given you light
To guide you day and night
He is leading you by His side
He will take you away
When it comes that Judgment Day
And you'll be going to Heaven sometime
Sometimes, sometimes
I'll be going to Heaven sometime
God is leading the way and I can't go astray
I'll be going to Heaven sometime
I'll Be Going To Heaven Sometime
