What Are They Doing In Heaven Today

I’m thinking of friends that I used to know

Who lived and suffered in this world below

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 have all gone away

Peace is found like a river they say

Oh, what are they doing there now?

There’s some whose hearts were burdened with care

They spent their moments with all frightened and scared

But they clung to the cross in trembling and fear

Oh, what are they doing there now?

What are they doing... (chorus)

There’s some who were poor and often despised

They looked up toward heaven with tear-blinded eyes

While people were heedless and deaf to their cries

Oh, what are they doing there now?

(Chorus)
