Some people are taking vacations traveling both far and near Never stopping to think about Jesus never seeming to have a care It seems that I cannot be like them while on earth life's burdens I bear And I prepare to meet Jesus and rest eternally there Yes someday I'll take a vacation one that never will end When I cross old river Jordan my Savior will welcome me in For me the gates will swing open and I'll have a mansion within There I will rest up in heaven a rest that never will end Yes some people own fine mansions some live in much luxury Never having a thought of our Savior of where they'll spend eternity Again though I cannot be like them I'm building my mansion on high Yes someday I'll rest up in heaven and bid this old cruel world goodbye Yes someday I'll take a vacation one that never will end When I cross old river Jordan my Savior will welcome me in For me the gates will swing open and I'll have a mansion within There I will rest up in heaven a rest that never will end
