Had an old friend call me up this morning
Telling me about how he had changed
His life’s not the same
Warning me about a place
So far away from heaven’s grace
And how life is no simple game
I thought about it, laughed out loud
Only fools would dare reject it
I decided to just accept it
I thought about it and I sang this song
Thought about the day when
I’d be singing to you all day long

Chorus:
’Cause I wanna spend it with you
I wanna live in the service of heaven
I wanna spend it with you
From eternity to forever

Got another call from a friend this morning
Telling me I didn’t have to wait
’Til I walked through the gates
That heaven’s with me everyday
And every step along the way
I take with me takes
I thought about it, laughed out loud
How much better could this get
I’ve barely even started yet
I thought about it and I smiled so wide
Now I can spend everyday walking close to jesus’ side

Chorus:
’Cause I wanna spend it with you
I wanna wake up and say good morning
I wanna spend it with you
I wanna know in your heart that you’re with me

Called up my old friend this morning
Telling him about how I had changed
My life’s just not the same
Warning him about a place
So far away from heaven’s grace
And how life is no simple game
He thought about it, he laughed out loud
Only fools would dare reject it
He decided to accept it
He thought about it and said that he
Only wished I didn’t wait
To call him up and tell him this

Chorus:
’Cause I wanna spend it with you
I wanna walk streets of gold together
I wanna spend it with you
From eternity to forever
