Lyrics

Our home­less and lone­ly Sav­ior said,
There are many man­sions up there;
No place in the earth to lay His head,
Yet the ma­ny man­sions up there.

Refrain

There are ma­ny man­sions up there (up there),
Which Je­sus has gone to pre­pare (to pre­pare);
There’s one for you and one for me,
If we trust Him to take us there.

My hea­ven­ly Fa­ther’s house o’er­flows,
With the ma­ny man­sions up there;
The joys of that place no mor­tal knows,
There are ma­ny man­sions up there.

Refrain

When tired of my earth­ly home I know
There are ma­ny man­sions up there;
Where death ne­ver comes nor ev­ils grow,
There are ma­ny man­sions up there.

Refrain

O wan­d’rers of earth op­pressed with care,
There are ma­ny man­sions up there;
You’re wel­come to come with us and share
In those ma­ny man­sions up there.
