What Are They Doing In Heaven Today

Charles Albert Tindley

[Verse 1]
I'm thinking of friends that I used to know
Who lived and suffered in this world below
But they're gone off to heaven, but I want to know
What are they doing there now?

[Verse 2]
There's some whose hearts were burdened with care
They paid their moment through fighting and tears
But they clung to the cross with trembling and fear
But what are they doing there now?

[Chorus]
What are they doing in heaven today
Where sin and sorrow are all gone away
Peace is found by the river they say
Oh, what are they doing there now?

[Scat Solo]

[Verse 3]
There's some who were poor and often despised
They looked up toward heaven with tear-blinded eyes
While people were heedless and deaf to their cries
But what are they doing there now?

[Chorus]
What are they doing in heaven today
Where sin and sorrow are all gone away
Peace is found by the river they say
Oh, what are they doing there now?

[Outro]
What are they doing there now?
What are they doing there now?
What are they doing there now?
