Move on Up a Little Higher Lyrics

Monday morning, soon one morning
I′m gonna lay down my cross, get me a crown
Soon one evening, late in the evening
Late in the evening, oh, I'm going home to live on high

Soon as my feet strike Zion
Lay down my heavy burden
Put on my robe in glory
Going home one day and tell my story
I′ve been coming over hills and mountains
Gonna drink from the Christian fountain
You know all of God's sons and daughters that morning
Will drink that old healing water

And we gonna live on forever
We gonna live on forever
We gonna live on up in glory after a while
Oh Lord, I'm going outside, seeing them view
Watch all around, gonna do
Gonna walk, never get tired
Go for life, Lord, and never falter

I′m gonna move up a little higher
Gonna meet Old Man Daniel

Gonna move up a little higher
Gonna meet the Hebrew children
Gonna move on up a little higher
Gonna meet Paul and Silas
Gonna move on up a little higher

Gonna meet my friends and kindred
Gonna move on up a little higher
Gonna meet my loving mother
I′m gonna move on up a little higher
Gonna meet the Lily of the Valley
I'm gonna feast with the Rose of Sharon
It will be always howdy-howdy
Will be always howdy-howdy
Will be always howdy-howdy
And never goodbye

Oh, will you be there early one morning?
Will you be there somewhere ′round the altar?
Will you be there, oh, when the angels shall call, oh
God knows I'll be waiting
Yes, I′ll be watching somewhere 'round the altar
Well, I′ll be waiting, oh, at the beautiful, yes, golden gate

Well, well, soon as my feet strike Zion
Gonna lay down my heavy burden
I'm gonna put on my robe in glory
I'm going home one day, tell my story
I′ve been coming over hills and mountains
I′m gonna drink from the Christian fountain
You know all of God's sons and daughters that morning
Will drink that old healing water

Meet me there early one morning
Meet me there somewhere ′round the altar
Meet me there, oh, when the angels shall call
Gold road
