What Are They Doin' in Heaven Songtext
I′m thinking of friends
Whom I used to know
Who live, live down here in this old world
And they suffered, oh yes they did
In this broken up world, mmm
Below, but their misery has eased
And they've gone
I know my God has received them
They′ve gone up to Heaven, mmm
But I, I just want to know
Oh, what, what, what
What are they doing
What are they doing there now?
I'm talking about what, what, what
What are they doing
I'm wondering to myself
What are they doing there
In Heaven today
Where sin, sin, sin, sin and sorrow
Don′t you know they′re all
Our tears are gonna be washed away
They're all done away with now
They′re having happiness and joy
I can see them now
Where peace, peace, peace
Is a body, like a cool river water
They say, but I'm wondering with myself again
I′m wondering what, what, what
What are they doing, oh Lord
What are they doing there now?
There's some more people I used to know
I know them now
There were some, some whose heart
Our hearts are the same way now
Were burdened, mmm
Burdened with cares
And you know what they did
They passed, passed their moments
They couldn′t help it
And sighing, their hearts were so broke up
Sighing in tears
So many of us are that way today
But you know, they didn't give up
They clung, ha, that's what holds us together
They clung to the cross, oh
With trembling, Lord have mercy
With trembling and fear
We should have a little of that today
And I′m wondering what, what, what
What are they doing
Oh, what are they doing there now?
Now, now, now, I wanna know what, what, what
What are they doing
Oh Lord, have mercy
I just wonder, I wonder what are they doing there now
I know they′re having a wonderful time
And they tell me where sin, ha, sin, sin
Sin and sorrows
Don't you know they′re all
Oh, washed away
And one day we're gonna have peace, peace, peace
Peace of God
Just like a river, mmm
You know how a river is
It′s so cool
Where the cool water flows
And I'm wondering what, what, what
What are they doing
What are they doing there now?
Whom I used to know
Who live, live down here in this old world
And they suffered, oh yes they did
In this broken up world, mmm
Below, but their misery has eased
And they've gone
I know my God has received them
They′ve gone up to Heaven, mmm
But I, I just want to know
Oh, what, what, what
What are they doing
What are they doing there now?
I'm talking about what, what, what
What are they doing
I'm wondering to myself
What are they doing there
In Heaven today
Where sin, sin, sin, sin and sorrow
Don′t you know they′re all
Our tears are gonna be washed away
They're all done away with now
They′re having happiness and joy
I can see them now
Where peace, peace, peace
Is a body, like a cool river water
They say, but I'm wondering with myself again
I′m wondering what, what, what
What are they doing, oh Lord
What are they doing there now?

Where the cool water flows
And I'm wondering what, what, what
What are they doing
What are they doing there now?
