I Will Move On Up a Little Higher Mahalia Jackson

One a-these mornings
Soon one morning
I'm gonna lay down my cross
Get me a crown
Soon one evening
Late in the evening
Late in the evening
I'm going home live on high

Soon as my feet strike Zion
Lay down my heavy burden
Put on my robe in glory
Going home one day and tell my story
I've been coming over hills and mountain
Gonna drink from the Christian fountain
Your know all of God's sons and daughters that morning
Will drink that ole healing water

And we gonna live on forever
We gonna live on forever
We gonna live on up in glory after awhile

O Lord, I'm going outside, to sing and bugle
March all around God's altar
Gonna walk and never get tired
Gonna fly Lord and never falter
