Move Up
Well, I believe in my soul
And I'm going on home
Hallelujah, oh lord, I'm moving move up
When this life is over
I'm going to stick my sword in the sand
I'm going to go on home to Jesus
Over in glory land
I'm moving to the sky
In a heaven on a high
Well, all my life I want to know
Is why my Jesus loved me so
Yes, oh lord, I'm moving, move up
I'm going to move up to the sky
To my home on a high
I'm going to see my loving mother
I'm going to see my father too
I'm going to sing with the angels
Tell them how I made it through
Well, I'm going to move on up in glory
Move on up in glory
Move on up on glory
After a while
One of these mornings
And it won't be very long
They're going to look for me down here
And I'll believe I'll be going on home
I'm going to walk with my father
Settle with the son
Tell him all about this world
That I've come from
I'm going to see my loving mother
I'm going to see my father too
I'm going to walk around in glory
And spread the news
Well, all my life I want to know
Is why my Jesus loved me so
Yes, oh lord, I'm moving, oh lord
Move up, oh lord
Move up, oh lord
Move up, oh lord
Move up, oh lord
I'm going to move, move move, move, move
move, move move, move, move
move, move move, move, move
move, move move, move, move
I'm going to move on up in glory
Move on up in glory
Move on up in glory
Move on up in glory
Move on up in glory
Move on up in glory
Move on up in glory
After a while
And I'm going on home
Hallelujah, oh lord, I'm moving move up
When this life is over
I'm going to stick my sword in the sand
I'm going to go on home to Jesus
Over in glory land
I'm moving to the sky
In a heaven on a high
Well, all my life I want to know
Is why my Jesus loved me so
Yes, oh lord, I'm moving, move up
I'm going to move up to the sky
To my home on a high
I'm going to see my loving mother
I'm going to see my father too
I'm going to sing with the angels
Tell them how I made it through
Well, I'm going to move on up in glory
Move on up in glory
Move on up on glory
After a while
One of these mornings
And it won't be very long
They're going to look for me down here
And I'll believe I'll be going on home
I'm going to walk with my father
Settle with the son
Tell him all about this world
That I've come from
I'm going to see my loving mother
I'm going to see my father too
I'm going to walk around in glory
And spread the news
Well, all my life I want to know
Is why my Jesus loved me so
Yes, oh lord, I'm moving, oh lord
Move up, oh lord
Move up, oh lord
Move up, oh lord
Move up, oh lord
I'm going to move, move move, move, move
move, move move, move, move
move, move move, move, move
move, move move, move, move
I'm going to move on up in glory
Move on up in glory
Move on up in glory
Move on up in glory
Move on up in glory
Move on up in glory
Move on up in glory
After a while
