Eternal Vacation

Some people are taking vacations, traveling both far and near
Never stopping to think about Jesus, never seeming to have a care
It seems that I cannot be like them, while on earth life's burdens I bear
And I prepare to meet Jesus and rest eternally there
Chorus:
Yes someday I'll take a vacation one that never will end
When I'll cross old river Jordan my Saviour will welcome me in
For me the gates will swing open and I'll have a mansion within
There I will rest up in heaven a rest that never will end.
[ guitar ]
Yes, some people own fine mansions, some live in much luxury
Never having a thought of ourt Saviour, of where they'll spend eternity
And though I cannot be like them, I'm building my mansion on high
Yes someday I'll rest up in heaven, and leave this old cruel world - goodbye

Repeat chorus.
