What Are They Doing In Heaven Today

What are they doing in heaven today?
 I don't know boy
 But it's my biz to say it and sing about it
 Chorus:
 What are they doing in heaven today,
 Where sin and sorrow are all done away?
 Peace abounds like a river, they say.
 What are they doing there now?
 I'm thinking of friends whom I used to know,
 Who lived and suffered in this world below
 But they've gone off to heaven, but I want to know
 What are they doing there now?
 Oh, what are they doing in heaven today,
 Where sin and sorrow are all done away?
 Peace abounds like a river, they say.
 But what are they doing there now?
 There's some whose hearts were burdened with care
 They paid for their moment to fighting and tears
 But they clung to the cross with trembling and fear
 But what are they doing there now?
 (chorus)
 And there's some whose bodies were full of disease
 Physicians and doctors couldn't give them much ease
 But they suffered 'til death brought a final release
 But what are they doing there now?
 (chorus)
 There's some who were poor and often despised
 They looked up to heaven with tear-blinded eyes
 While people were heedless and deaf to their cries
 But what are they doing there now?
