Lead:
I started out with Jesus at a very early age
yes I`ve known him nearly all of my life
well I`ll admit there have been times
where I`ve faltered along the way
but I`ll keep trying cause somehow I`ve gotta make it in
you see I`ve got a charge on my life
and I`ve got a job to do
and I can`t stop until it`s through
Chorus:
I`m determined
I`ve got made up mind
I can`t stand around wasting my time
I`m gonna keep on working for Jesus
every day of my life
cause I`ve got heaven on my mind
Verse 2:
I don`t have time to waste
criticizing someone else
there are some things I`d rather leave behind
and I don`t have time to be bothered
with she said, that she said, that they said
cause it`s all I can do to keep my own self in line oh lord
i must work while this day
cause I know the night is surely coming
I`m going all all the way
Chorus
Vamp:
I can`t understand how some people can move so slow
but they don`t know just what time it is
Jesus is coming back and I know it that won`t be long
I`ve gotta be ready, i`ve gotta be ready
for my starry crown
I want to hear him say i want to hear him say well done
Chorus
You can talk about me
say what you wanna say
you can stand around wasting your time
but while you`re talking I`m gonna keep on walking
cause I got heaven on my mind
Chorus
I`ve got heaven (with echo 2 times)
I`ve got heaven on my mind (end)
