Move Up A Little Higher

Move Up A Little Higher - Mahalia Jackson (瑪哈利亞-傑克森)

One of these mornings

Soon in the morning

I'm gonna lay down my cross

Get me a crown

Say in one evening

Late in the evening

Late in the evening

I'm going home to live on high

Soon as my feet strike Zion

Gonna lay down my heavy burdens

Put on my robe in Glory Lord

I'm goin' home one day and tell my story

I've been climbing over hills and mountains

I'm Gonna drink from the Christian fountain

All the God's sons and daughters

We gonna drink that ol' healing water

Well you meet me there early in the morning

Meet me there somewhere 'round the alter

Oh I will be there

Oh and the angels got to call your roll

I'm goin out sight-seeing in Buelah

Walk and never get tired

Fly and never faulter

Gonna live on foreve

I'm gonna move up a little higher

Meet ol' man Daniel

Move up a little higher

Meet the Hebrew Children

Move up a little higher Lord

Meet my friends and kindred

Move on up a little higher

Meet my loving mother

Move on up a little higher

Meet that Lily of the Valley

Feast with the Rose of Sharon

It will be always howdy howdy

It will be always howdy howdy Lord

It will be always howdy howdy

And never never goodbye

Oh will you be there somewhere 'round the alter

Will you be there

Will you be there

Oh when the angels one day will call God's roll

Oh children I'll be waiting hmmm

No no I'll be watching where back in heaven

I'll be waiting

Yes at the beautiful oh golden gates

You know soon as my feet strike Zion

I'm gonna lay down my heavy burdens

I'm gonna put on my robe in Glory

And I'm going home one day tell my story

I've been climbing over hills and mountains

I'm gonna drink from the Christian fountain

It will be always howdy howdy

It will be always howdy howdy

It will be always howdy howdy

Lord And never goodbye
