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
