What are they doing in heaven today?
[F] I don't know boy, but it's my business to stay here and sing about it.
What are they doing in heaven today?
My sin and sorrow [Gm] are all done [C] away.
[F] Peace is bound [Bb] like the river, they say.
[F] [Bb] What are they doing [F] right now?
I'm thinking of [Bb] friends whom I used to know, who [F] lived and suffered in this world below.
But they're gone up to heaven, [Bb] but I want to know, [F] what are they doing right now?
Oh, what are they doing in heaven today?
My sin and sorrow [Gm] are [C] all done away.
[F] Peace is bound like the [D] river, they say.
But what [Bb] are they doing [F] there now?
There's some whose hearts [Bb] were burdened with care.
They [F] faced their moments through sighting and tears.
But they clung to the cross with trembling and fear.
But what are they doing there now?
What are they doing in heaven today?
My sin and sorrow [Gm] are all done [F] away.
Oh, peace is bound like the river, [Bb] they say.
[F] But what [Bb] are they doing [F] there now?
There's some whose bodies were [Bb] burst full of disease.
Their doctors [F]
couldn't give them much ease.
But they suffered until death brought [Bb] a final relief.
[F] But what are [C] they [F] doing there now?
Oh, what are they doing in heaven today?
My sin and sorrow are all done away.
[Bb] Peace is bound like the river, they say.
But what are they [F] doing there now?
There's some who was poor [Bb] and often despised.
They [F] looked up to heaven with tear-blinded eyes.
While people was heedless and deaf to their cries.
But what are [Bb] they [F] doing there now?
What are they doing in heaven today?
My sin and sorrow are all [C] done away.
[F] Peace is [Bb] bound like the river, they say.
[Cm] But what are they [F] doing there now?
