Intro

Verse 1

I'm thinking of friends whom I used to know

Who lived and suffered in this world below

They've gone off to heaven, but I wanna know

What are they doing there now?

Chorus

Oh, what are they doing in heaven today

Where sin and sorrow have all gone away

Peace is fine like a river they say

But what are they doing there now?

Verse 2

There are some whose hearts were burdened with care

Who spent their moments of fighting and tears

They clung to the cross with trembling and fear

Oh, what are they doing there now?

(chorus)

Instrumental

Verse 3

There are some who were poor and often despised

They looked up towards heaven with tear-blinded eyes

While people heedless and deaf to their cries

Oh, what are they doing there now?

(chorus)
