Had an old friend call me up this morning

Telling me about how he had changed

His life's not the same

Warning me about a place

So far away from heaven's grace

And how life is no simple game

I thought about it, laughed out loud

Only fools would dare reject it

I decided to just accept it

I thought about it and I sang this song

Thought about the day when

I'd be singing to you all day long



Chorus:

'Cause I wanna spend it with you

I wanna live in the service of heaven

I wanna spend it with you

From eternity to forever



Got another call from a friend this morning

Telling me I didn't have to wait

'Til I walked through the gates

That heaven's with me everyday

And every step along the way

I take with me takes

I thought about it, laughed out loud

How much better could this get

I've barely even started yet

I thought about it and I smiled so wide

Now I can spend everyday walking close to jesus' side



Chorus:

'Cause I wanna spend it with you

I wanna wake up and say good morning

I wanna spend it with you

I wanna know in your heart that you're with me



Called up my old friend this morning

Telling him about how I had changed

My life's just not the same

Warning him about a place

So far away from heaven's grace

And how life is no simple game

He thought about it, he laughed out loud

Only fools would dare reject it

He decided to accept it

He thought about it and said that he

Only wished I didn't wait

To call him up and tell him this



Chorus:

'Cause I wanna spend it with you

I wanna walk streets of gold together

I wanna spend it with you

From eternity to forever
