Take Me There Lyrics

Take me there, won't you take me there (x4)
Wanna go there, I wanna go, wanna go, I wanna go there

I've got my bags packed and I'm ready to take flight (when I get up there)
No worries, no problems or troubles, everything's all right
I am going to a place where there is no night (Lord I'm goin')
And I'm told through stories of old, Jesus is the light (Jesus is light)
I'm still holdin' on, I anticipate that day (take me there, take, take won't you take me there)
'Cause I can hardly wait
Take me there

Chorus 1:
I'm going to heaven one day, one day
And I really can't wait to get there (can't wait to get there)
If you are listening the Savior's calling
I wanna hear Him say
I've been forgiven, and I'm livin' today
And today I'm on my way there
How awesome just to see my Jesus on that day (I can't wait to see Him, really wanna go)

Take me there, take, take won't you take me there
Take me there, take, take won't you take me there

Now that I'm on my way
Nothin' can stop me now (can't stop me now)
No trials, tribulations, or persecutions (no, you can't stop us now)
We're fighting a good fight, we are soldiers of the cross (keep on fighting)
I'm awaitin' that day when we won't suffer any loss (any loss)
We're tellin' the world to come and join along (take me there, take, take won't you take me there)
'Cause with Jesus' love we've never been so strong
So strong, so strong, so strong

Chorus 2:
I'm going to heaven one day, one day
And I really can't wait to get there (can't wait to get there)
If you are listening the Savior's calling
I wanna hear him say
I've been forgiven and I'm livin' today
And today I'm on my way there
How awesome just to see Him on that day

Take me
Take me
Take me

Help me sing right now (take me there)
People get ready (people get), there's a train a-comin' (woo hoo, woo hoo)
Don't need no baggage, just get on board (get on board)
All you need is faith to hear the diesel hummin' (hmmmmmm)
Don't need no ticket (well), gonna find my Lord when it takes me home

Take me, Take (x2)
Take me, take, take won't you take me there

Scriptural Reference:

"When Jesus heard this, he was astonished and said to those following him, 'I tell you the truth, I have not found anyone in Israel with such great faith. I say to you that many will come from the east and the west, and will take their places at the feast with Abraham, Isaac and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven.'" Matthew 8:10-11
