When I Take My Vacation in Heaven sung by HEE HAW GOSPEL QUARTET 1984
1. Here so many are taking vacations to the mountains, the 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 lot to be like them. I must toil through the heat and the cold, seeking out the lost sheep on the mountains, bringing wonders back to the fold.

2. Someday I shall take my vacation to the city John tells us about, where its foundation walls are so precious, where from gladness of heart I shall shout, Oh, no sights ever witnessed by mortals can compare with the glories up there. I shall spend my vacation with Jesus in the place He went on to prepare.

CHORUS: When I take my vacation in heaven, what a wonderful time that will be. Hearing concerts by the heavenly chorus, and the face of my Savior I'll see, sitting down by the banks of the river, beneath the shade of the evergreen tree. I shall rest from my burdens forever, won't you spend your vacation with me?
