[Verse 1]

We have days very long

We have days very hard

We're given up our lives for the sake of the call

And in those times when we thought

We were not gonna make it

We would remind ourselves that our reward is in heaven



[Bridge]

We're goin' to a place that is truly blessed

A place where we'll find rest yeah

Prepared for me and you

I'm getting my house in order How about you?

A place that is full of peace

Love it will be over flowing

We'll be there for eternity

I want you there yeah I want you there with me



[Chorus]

Keep your head up he's coming some day to carry us away to a better place [repeat]



[Verse 2]

We all have times when we're weak and we have times when we're strong

We don't always do what's right ‘cause sometimes it's easier to do wrong

Well everybody makes mistakes yeah at some point in their lives

You know that nobody's perfect

We're all just reaching for the prize

Bridge

We're goin' to a place that is truly blessed

A place where we'll find rest yeah

Prepared for me and you

I'm getting my house in order How about you?

A place that is full of peace

Love it will be over flowing

We'll be there for eternity

I want you there yeah I want you there with me



[Chorus]

Keep your head up he's coming some day to carry us away to a better place [x4]



[Verse 3]

White pearly gates that's where the streets are made with gold

His glory illuminates the heavens

Walls of jasper

We'll live there ever after

We'll seek his face

We'll bow down and cry holy holy holy holy

Keep your head up he's coming some day to carry us away to a better place [x4]
