Going Up Yonder Lyrics

(Edwin Hawkins featuring Tremaine Hawkins)

LEAD VERSE I:
If you wanna know
Where I'm going
Where I'm going soon
If anybody asks you
Where I'm going
WHere I'm going soon
I'm going up yonder (3X)
To be with my Lord
I'm going up yonder (3X)
To be with my Lord.

LEAD VERSE II:
I can take the pain
The heartaches they bring
The comfort's in knowing
I'll soon be gone.
As God gives me grace,
I'll run this race
Until I see my Saviour face to face.

I'm going up yonder
CHOIR: Going up yonder
I'm going up yonder
CHOIR: Going up yonder
I'm going up yonder
To be with my Lord
Repeat

CHOIR and LEAD:
If anybody asks you
Where I'm going
Where I'm going
Where I'm going soon

LEAD: If anyone wants to know
CHOIR: If anybody asks you
LEAD: If anybody asks you
CHOIR: Where I'm going
LEAD: Where I'm going
CHOIR: Where I'm going
LEAD: Where I'm going
CHOIR: Soon

LEAD: Tell 'em for me I'm going up yonder
CHOIR: Going up yonder
LEAD: I'm going up yonder
CHOIR: Going up yonder
LEAD: I'm going up yonder to be with my Lord.

(repeat with lead ad lib)

LEAD: Because I can take the pain, yes.
And I can take the heartaches, the heartaches they bring.
Lord, Lord, the heartaches they bring.
Because I know that the comfort's, the comfort's in knowing
One of these old days (3X)
I'll soon, I'll soon see God.
Yes, yes.

And as God, as God gives me grace,
I've got to run, I've got to run, I've got to run
and run on (5x)
run on through that race
Until I see Jesus (2X)
Until I see my Saviour
Face (5X)
Face to face.
I'm, I'm, I'm

CHOIR:
Oh, I'm going up yonder
Going up yonder
Going up yonder
To be with my Lord (3X)
