When I Take My Vacation In Heaven

When I Take My Vacation In Heaven - Ernest Tubb

When I take my vacation in heaven

What a wonderful time that will be

Hearing concerts by the heavenly chorus

And the face of the Saviour I'll see

Sitting down on the banks of the river

Neath the shade of the evergreen tree

I shall rest from my burdens forever

Won't you take your vacation with me

It's so many are taking vacations to

The mountains and lakes and the sea

Where they rest from their cares and their worries

What a wonderful time that must be

But it seems not my luck to be like them

I must toil through the heat and the cold

Seeking out the lost sheep on the mountains

Bringing wanderers back to the fold

When I take my vacation in heaven

What a wonderful time that will be

Hearing concerts by the heavenly chorus

And the face of the Saviour I'll see

Sitting down on the banks of the river

Neath the shade of the evergreen tree

I shall rest from my burdens forever

Won't you take your vacation with me
