Going On Up

Chorus
I’m going on up (going on up) I’m going on up (going on up)
I’m going on up soon my feet will leave the ground
I’m going on up (going on up) I’m going on up (going on up)
I’m going on up to that city John saw comin’ down.

Verse 1
Some people call me the glorified gambler, I take my chances with God
What they don’t know brother is all my risk ended, when I turned up heavenly sod
It’s in the gospel I’ve placed my bet, I’m trusting on Him He’s never failed me yet
I’m going up up up up up in a new kind of way.

Verse 2
This world’s investor said your crazy my friend, your trades take too long to pay
but its already paying me dividends, don’t have to wait till judgment day
The Holy Spirit’s advanced on my heavenly wages, getting payments now from that rock of ages.
I’m going up up up up up in a new kind of way

Verse 3
So this glorified gambler will soon shed this life, I’ll lay this old robe of flesh down
Casting aside canal worry and strife I’ll trade my cross in for a crown.
I’ve got a yearning for flying, I’m oh so excited, I can feel my feet leaving the ground.
I’m going up up up up up in a new kind of way

Verse 4
Like this glorified gambler place your treasure in heaven and watch your stock multiply
Like bread on the water comin’ back to you like manna falling down from the sky.
And when you behold the Son, your work on earths done, you’ll feel your feet leaving the ground.
You’ll be going up up up up up in a new kind of way.
