What Are They Doing In Heaven Today

Intro: C

Verse 1:
C
I'm thinking of friends whom I used to know
C                         G
Who lived and suffered in this world below
C                                                             F
They've gone off to heaven, but I wanna know
C                           G           C
What are they doing there now?

Chorus:
C
Oh, what are they doing in heaven today
C                                                       G
Where sin and sorrow have all gone away
C                                          F
Peace is fine like a river they say
C                               G                         C
But what are they doing there now?

Verse 2:
C
There are some whose hearts were burdened with care
C                                                        G
Who spent their moments of fighting and tears
C                                                          F
They clung to the cross with trembling and fear
C                               G                         C
Oh, what are they doing there now?

(chorus)

Verse 3:
C
There are some who were poor and often despised
C                                                                        G
They looked up towards heaven with tear-blinded eyes
C                                               F
While people heedless and deaf to their cries
C                               G                 C
Oh, what are they doing there now?
