[Chorus]
Well I got two hands, I wanna clap my hands together
I got two legs, I'm gonna dance to heavens door
I got one heart, I'm gonna fill it up with up Jesus
And I ain't gonna think about trouble anymore

[Verse 1]
Well now, this old world sometimes it does get lonesome
And it's many a grown man has hung his head and cried
Ah look down in your soul there's one that won't desert you
Ain't it fine to have the Savior by your side

[Chorus]
Well I got two hands, I wanna clap my hands together
I got two legs, I'm gonna dance to heavens door
I got one heart, I'm gonna fill it up with up Jesus
And I ain't gonna think about trouble anymore

[Verse 2]
Now the Lord resides inside a house of golden
And faith is the door and love is the key
Aw and warm is the light pouring from His mighty windows
And that light, my friend, it shines on you and me

[Chorus]
Well I got two hands, I wanna clap my hands together
I got two legs, I'm gonna dance to heavens door
I got one heart, I'm gonna fill it up with up Jesus
And I ain't gonna think about trouble anymore
