Note: the following piece thinks of my mother’s preference in hymn genre. She loved the evangelical hymns best. This song intends to honour her memory.
Way Up in Heaven
by the Singsong Sinner
1
Way up in heaven my saviour waits for
His many children, to come to him
His arms wide open, his warm heart beating
Eagerly waiting, to bring us in
Chorus
He is waiting, and he is watching
And he is counting the days away
He is smiling, at thoughts that he’ll meet me
And say hello, sir, come right this way
2
Twelfth century mystics, those holy women
Like St. Teresa, love pure and clear
Jesus their lover, no earthly other
Could feed their hunger, or bring them cheer
Chorus
He is waiting, and he is watching
And he is counting the days away
He is smiling, at thoughts that he’ll meet me
And say hello, sir, just walk right in
3
Way up in heaven, beyond the blue sky
Beyond the white clouds, beyond the hill
There sits my saviour, in all his splendour
Patiently waiting, to bring us in
Chorus
He is waiting, and he is watching
He is counting the days away
He is smiling, at thoughts that he’ll meet me
And say hello, sir, you’re welcome here
And say hello, sir, you’re welcome here.
