Elevator

So we check into our hotel on tour
And the elevator door opens
A man looks at me and says
"Going up or going down?"

I looked him with a smile and I paused and said
"This elevator's going up"
Going up to the top floor - yeah
Gonna go and see my Lord
I'm going up to the top floor

This elevator's going up
Going up to the top floor - yeah
Gonna bring 'em all to the Lord
I'm going up to the top floor

I push the button and then
Hear the elevator ding
When the doors open
I better step and come in
No time to delay me talking seriously
Then the elevator operator says to me
"Going up or going down?"

I better choose wisely
My decision right now is for eternity
Then I clear my throat "ugh um" to speak clearly
And say to the liftman
"The penthouse suite!"

Inna me Father's house are many mansions
If there weren't I would say so
Inna me Father's house are many mansions
A place I long for you to go

This elevator's going up
Going up to the top floor - yeah
Gonna go and see my Lord - yeah
I'm going up to the top floor

This elevator's going up
Going up to the top floor - yeah
Gonna go and see my Lord
Going up to the top floor

Then he looked at me with curiosity
"To get to the top floor you betta have the right key"
So I paused for a second
To create some suspense
Then from my chest pocket came a key I present

Then the elevator operator spoke softly
With a kindhearted smile
"You chose wisely!"
With the cross-shaped key we are headed to the top - nonstop

This elevator's going up
Going up to the top floor - yeah
Gonna bring 'em all to the Lord - yeah
Going up to the top floor

This elevator's going up
Going up to the top floor - yeah
Gonna bring 'em all to the Lord
Going up to the top floor

Going up...

Inna me Father's house are many mansions
If there weren't I would say so
Inna me Father's house
are oh so many mansions
A place I long for you to go

I'm going home
I'm going home
I'm going home

I'm going home
I'm going home
I'm going home

This elevator's going up

I'm going home (To the top floor)
I'm going home (To the Lord)
I'm going home (Yo)

This elevator's going up

Do it y'all
I'm going home (To the top floor, yeah)
I'm going home (And see my Lord)
I'm going home

This elevator's going up
