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 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 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 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
