[00:00.00]What Are They Doing In Heaven Today - Washington Phillips
[00:01.05]What are they doing in heaven today
[00:03.97]I don't know boy
[00:05.32]But it's my biz to say it and sing about it
[00:09.06]What are they doing in heaven today
[00:14.84]Where sin and sorrow are all done away
[00:21.90]Peace abounds like a river they say
[00:27.47]What are they doing there now
[00:32.75]I'm thinking of friends whom I used to know
[00:38.56]Who lived and suffered in this world below
[00:43.78]But they've gone off to heaven but I want to know
[00:49.43]What are they doing there now
[00:54.69]Oh what are they doing in heaven today
[00:59.93]Where sin and sorrow are all done away
[01:05.50]Peace abounds like a river they say
[01:10.37]But what are they doing there now
[01:15.22]There's some whose hearts were burdened with care
[01:20.51]They paid for their moment to fighting and tears
[01:25.64]But they clung to the cross with trembling and fear
[01:30.59]But what are they doing there now
[01:36.17]What are they doing in heaven today
[01:40.64]Where sin and sorrow are all done away
[01:45.63]Oh Peace abounds like a river they say
[01:50.74]But What are they doing there now
[01:55.81]And there's some whose bodies were full of disease
[02:00.85]Physicians and doctors couldn't give them much ease
[02:05.80]But they suffered 'til death brought a final release
[02:10.63]But what are they doing there now
[02:16.02]What are they doing in heaven today
[02:20.44]Where sin and sorrow are all done away
[02:25.49]Peace abounds like a river they say
[02:30.20]But What are they doing there now
[02:34.56]There's some who were poor and often despised
[02:39.93]They looked up to heaven with tear-blinded eyes
[02:44.63]While people were heedless and deaf to their cries
[02:49.44]But what are they doing there now
[02:54.84]What are they doing in heaven today
[02:59.18]Where sin and sorrow are all done away
[03:04.59]Peace abounds like a river they say
[03:09.31]What are they doing there now
