Lyrics

I started out with Jesus, at a very early age Yes, I've known him nearly all of my life Well, I admit there have been times when I faltered along the way But I'll keep trying because somehow I've gotta make it in You see, I've got a charge on my life, and I've got a job to do And I can't stop until it's through 'Cause I'm determined I've got a made up mind I can't stand around Wasting my time I'm gonna keep on working for Jesus Every day of my life 'Cause I've got heaven On my mind I don't have time to waste, criticizing someone else There are some things I'd rather leave behind And another thing And I don't have time to be bothered with "he said", "that she said", "that they said" Because it's all I can do to keep my own self in line, oh Lord I must work while it's day, 'cause I know the night is surely coming I'm going all, all the way I'm determined (I'm determined, yes, I am) I've got a made up mind (I've got a made up mind) I can't stand around (I can't stand around here) Wasting my time (wasting my time) (I'm) I'm gonna keep on working for Jesus (Every day of my life) every day of my life ('Cause I've got heaven) I've got Heaven (I've got Heaven) On my mind (on my mind) I can't understand how some people can move so slow Maybe they don't know just what time it is Jesus is coming back, and I know it won't be long I've gotta be ready, I've gotta be ready, for my starry crown I wanna hear Him say, I wanna Him say, well done You can talk about me (you can talk about me) Say what you wanna say (say what you wanna say) You can stand around (you can stand around here) Wasting your time (wasting, wasting your time, your time) While your talking (yes, while your talking) I'm gonna keep on walking (gonna keep on walking, yes, I am) 'Cause I've got a heaven (I've got a heaven) On my mind (I've got a heaven on my mind) You can talk about me (say what you wanna say, they talk about me, that's alright) Say what you wanna say (say what you wanna say) You can stand around (you can stand around here) Wasting your time (wasting your time) While your talking (gonna keep on, gonna keep on walking) I'm gonna keep on walking ('Cause I've got a heaven) I've got a heaven (I've got a heaven) On my mind (on my mind, yes, I have) On my mind (on my mind)
