G                                C                      G 
Some people are taking vacations traveling both far and near 

                                          A7                D7 
Never stopping to think about Jesus never seeming to have a care 

G                                   C                               G 
It seems that I cannot be like them while on earth life's burdens I bear 

C                     G              D7        G 
And I prepare to meet Jesus and rest eternally there 


                                 C                   G 
Yes someday I'll take a vacation one that never will end 

                                 A7                     D7 
When I cross old river Jordan my Savior will welcome me in 

G                                C                       G 
For me the gates will swing open and I'll have a mansion within 

C                       G                  D7         G 
There I will rest up in heaven a rest that never will end 


                                  C                     G 
Yes some people own fine mansions some live in much luxury 

                                        A7                        D7 
Never having a thought of our Savior of where they'll spend eternity 

G                                      C                      G 
Again though I cannot be like them I'm building my mansion on high 

C                           G                       D7          G 
Yes someday I'll rest up in heaven and bid this old cruel world goodbye 


                                 C                   G 
Yes someday I'll take a vacation one that never will end 

                                 A7                     D7 
When I cross old river Jordan my Savior will welcome me in 

G                                C                       G 
For me the gates will swing open and I'll have a mansion within 

C                       G                  D7         G 
There I will rest up in heaven a rest that never will end
