I don't ask you Lord to lighten up my burden I don't mind the trials on earth that I go through Being down I want to prove that I am worthy Of a little spot in Heaven close to you verse 2 Years ago my Mother taught me all your meaning Of the hardship and the pain that you went through Know you Lord that I am ready and I'm waiting For a little spot in Heaven close to you Refrain Precious Lord forget me not don't pass me by Though there must be others worthier than I If you can then Lord here's what I'll have you do Save a little spot in Heaven close to you verse 3 If my wish is more than I deserve forgive me Up in Heaven any place would surely do But I've done my best on earth that's why I'm asking For a little spot in Heaven close to you verse 4 At the altar years ago we got acquainted And as time went on the love in my heart grew If it isn't asking too much Lord then save me Just a little spot in Heaven close to you
