What Are They Doing in Heaven?

I’m thinking today of some friends that I know Who lived and suffered in this world below They’re gone off to heaven, but I want to know What are they doing there now?

Oh, what are they doing in heaven today Where sin and sorrow are all gone away Peace abounds like a river they say Oh, what are they doing there now

There’s some whose minds were burdened with care They paid for their moment with fighting and tears But they clung to the cross in trembling and fear Oh, what are they doing there now?

(chorus)

And there’s some whose bodies were full of disease Physicians and doctors couldn’t give them much ease They suffered ‘til death brought a final release Oh, what are they doing there now?

(chorus)

There’s some who were poor and often despised They looked up to heaven with tear-blinded eyes While others were heedless and deaf to their cries Oh, what are they doing there now?

(chorus)
