Chorus:
What a time when we all get to heaven,
what a time, what a time, what a time.
When the saints of God are gathered around the throne,
Sopranos: Oh what a time,
All: time, what a time that will be.
Bridge:
We'll be singing, praises ringing.
Saints rejoicing up in glory forevermore.
Sopranos: Oh what a time,
All: time, what a time that will be.
Vamp 1:
We're gonna have a time
when we all get to heaven.
We're gonna have a time,
we're gonna have a good time.
Vamp 2:
We're gonna have a time.
We're gonna have a time,
we're gonna have a good time.
Vamp 1
Vamp 3:
We're gonna have a time.
Ending:
When the saints of God are gathered around the throne,
(repeat as desired)
Sopranos: Oh what a time,
All: time, what a time
(repeat as desired)
Sopranos: Oh what a time,
All: time, what a time that will be.
