Play

1.
Preaching by the roadside, under a tree;
Folks come along and make a mock of me.
They say we’re crazy, soon we’ll meet our fate,
But now we’ve churches in every state.

Chorus
Somewhere in glory you’ll find me;
You’ll find me, yes, you’ll find me.
Somewhere in glory you’ll find me
Singing and shouting in eternity.

2.
While I am resting beneath the sun,
My home is ready [at] the right hand of God.
The angels are holding my robe and crown
While Gabriel is ready, trumpet to sound.

VERSION 2:

1.
Preaching by the roadside under a tree.
People came along made a mock of me.
They say I’m crazy because I sing and shout.
but I have something to shout about.

Chorus
Somewhere in glory you’ll find me.
You’ll find me, yes you’ll find me.
Somewhere in glory you’ll find me
Singing and a shouting through out eternity.

2.
People they won’t own us and turn us away.
Would give anything just to hear Jesus say
“Welcome to glory you faithful and true.
Enter there in there’s a mansion for you.”

3.
When I am sleeping under the sod.
Waiting to stand at the right hand of God.
Angels are holding a robe and a crown.
Gabriel is waiting his trumpet to sound.

4.
If you don’t see me when you enter the door.
Keep on a searching there on heaven’s shore.
I’ll be there waiting and watching for you.
Come right on in and praise Jesus too.
