I want my crown.  I want my crown

When I get to heaven
I’m gonna sit down, gonna sit down
When I get to heaven
I’m gonna sit down, on the golder throne
Jordan River, chilly and cold
Chills the body, but not the soul

Chorus

We are climbing Jacob’s ladder
Want to sit down, want to sit down
We are climbing Jacob’s ladder
Want to sit down, on that golden throne
Jordan River, deep and wide
I’ve got a home on the other side

Chorus
