We do what's undone, Joshua Joshua the son of the moon
He got a body which is not his own
God spoke to Joshua with a loud voice
He said if you fight the battle, the sun will stand still
He gave me a letter and he told me to go
He gave me a heart and told me to go
And if I stole my love away
I would get them back and I would come and lay
When I get to heaven I'm gonna prove the truth
I'll walk around heaven and tell my news
I'll just watch TV, hear the day
Do no more harping, begin to play
Sit down, serve her [Ab] now
Sit [Eb] down, serve her
You wanna sit down, serve her now
Can't sit down, I just got to heaven now
Oh, [Ab] sit down, serve her now
[Eb] Sit down, serve her
Why don't you sit down, serve her now
Can't sit down, because I just got to heaven now
[Ab] Can't sit
