MOVIN’ UP TO GLORYLAND.
Somewhere beyond the blue (Somewhere beyond the blue)
A mansion waiting in the distant skies (A mansion waiting in the distant skies)
Maybe next door to you (Maybe next door to you)
Right down the Milky Way (Right down the Milky Way)
The planets Jupiter, Neptune, and Mars (The planets Jupiter and Neptune and Mars)
Won’t even be halfway (Won’t even be halfway)
Oh yes I’m moving, moving, moving, moving
Moving up to gloryland
Oh yes I’m moving, moving, moving, moving
Holding to His nail-scarred hands
Don’t know when I’m leaving but I’m ready to go
When I get to heaven I’ll be welcome I know
Oh yes I’m moving, moving, moving, moving
Moving up to gloryland
The day I gave up sin (The day I gave up sin)
And when my mansions ready this I know (And when my mansions ready this I know)
I’m gonna move right in (I’m gonna move right in)
Where friends and loved ones meet (Where friends and loved ones meet)
Right on the corner of God’s avenue (Right on the corner of God’s avenue)
And hallelujah street (And hallelujah street)

This is another “sugar stick” song. Fluff. Cotton candy. It is entertairing. Having attended many southern gospel concerts, variety is the spice of life. A slow song then a fast one would follow. A testimony or two would be worked in to the program.
Even though this song is a “sugar stick” it has true and faithful lyrics.
John 14:1-3 (King James Version) 1Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me. 2In my Father’s house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. 3And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.
King Jimmy version mis-translates the Greek word as mansions. It should be dwelling places or rooms. In fact there’s a song about “mansions”. You can go to You Tube and watch any number of videos named Mansion Over The Hilltop.
Don’t know when I’m leaving but I’m ready to go

Hi Danny,
I love thinking about heaven. It gives me a sense of deep peace and joy.
If you have a copy of Charles Spurgeon’s “Morning and Evening”, read the morning devotional for Feb. 7th. He writes, “And after death, what comes? What wonder-world will open upon our astonished sight? What scene of glory will be unfolded to our view? No traveler has ever returned to tell. But we know enough of the heavenly land to make us welcome our summons there with joy and gladness.” Spurgeon goes on to write, “This will be our last relocation, to live forever with Him we love, in the midst of His people, in the presence of God. Christian, meditate much on heaven; it will help you to press on and to forget the difficulty of the journey. This vale of tears is but the pathway to the better country: This world of woe is but the stepping-stone to a world of bliss.”
Thanks for sharing today’s song and thoughts with us. Where else can one go online to get a great Christian message … and learn about southern gospel at the same time!
Love you Danny,
Carson
