Jimmy Scott — What Are They Doing In Heaven Today

[Verse 1] I'm thinking of friends that I used to know Who lived and suffered in this world below But they're gone off to heaven, but I want to know What are they doing there now? [Verse 2] There's some whose hearts were burdened with care They paid their moment through fighting and tears But they clung to the cross with trembling and fear But what are they doing there now? [Chorus] What are they doing in heaven today Where sin and sorrow are all gone away Peace is found by the river they say Oh, what are they doing there now? [Scat Solo] [Verse 3] 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 But what are they doing there now? [Chorus] What are they doing in heaven today Where sin and sorrow are all gone away Peace is found by the river they say Oh, what are they doing there now? [Outro] What are they doing there now? What are they doing there now? What are they doing there now?
