I'm looking for any information about this song, who wrote it, groups that recorded it and all of the lyrics. If anyone can help at all it would be greatly appreciated. Here is what I have but I don't think the lyrics are correct and I can't remember how the song goes. Thanks for any help and God Bless!
I Want To Go There
Verse:1
I have heard of a place of joy and wondrous beauty,
where the half up there has never yet been told,
I know beauty can't compare to the one who awaits me there,
my Savior's face inside the gates will be worth it all.
Chorus:
I want to go there, I mean to go there,
I want to see what waits inside those jasper walls,
I want to go there, I mean to go there
I'm making preparations for that final call.
Verse: 2
If we gain the whole world and lose our soul,
it shall not profit in the end so we are told,
no pleasures here or treasures there can match the joys
yonder lay aside your weights and lay up riches there.
