I WON’T WAIT, NO, I WON’T WAIT FOR HEAVEN
‘Cause I believe heaven’s coming my way
While I’m alive I’ll be getting on with living like
You’re coming my way
Coming my way
And I’ll be coming Your way
Coming Your way
I can’t wait to meet You in the middle
Up in the air to welcome You home
On the way we’ll be getting things ready ’cause
O, I once was lost
O, and now I’m found
It’s like a spark lit a fire and it won’t burn out
A spark lit a fire, it won’t burn out
A spark lit a fire, now it won’t burn out
O, it’ll never burn out.
