Ain't that good news!
I've a crown up in the Kingdom,

Goin' to shoulder up my cross,
Goin' to take it home to Jesus,
Ain't that good news!
2 I've a harp up in the Kingdom,
Ain't that good news!
I've a harp up in the Kingdom,
Ain't that good news!

Goin' to shoulder up my cross,
Goin' to take it home to Jesus,
Ain't that good news!

Ain't that good news!
I've a robe up in the Kingdom,
Ain't that good news!

Goin' to shoulder up my cross,
Goin' to take it home to Jesus,
Ain't that good news!
4 I've slippers in the Kingdom,
Ain't that good news!
I've slippers in the Kingdom,
Ain't that good news!
I'm a-goin' to lay down this world,
Goin' to shoulder up my cross,
Goin' to take it home to Jesus,
Ain't that good news!
