Some people are taking vacations traveling both far and near
Never stopping to think about Jesus never seeming to have a care
It seems that I cannot be like them while on earth life's burdens I bear
And I prepare to meet Jesus and rest eternally there
Yes someday I'll take a vacation one that never will end
When I cross old river Jordan my Savior will welcome me in
For me the gates will swing open and I'll have a mansion within
There I will rest up in heaven a rest that never will end
Yes some people own fine mansions some live in much luxury
Never having a thought of our Savior of where they'll spend eternity
Again though I cannot be like them I'm building my mansion on high
Yes someday I'll rest up in heaven and bid this old cruel world goodbye
Yes someday I'll take a vacation one that never will end
When I cross old river Jordan my Savior will welcome me in
For me the gates will swing open and I'll have a mansion within
There I will rest up in heaven a rest that never will end
