Lord I Wanna Sing

O’ Lord I kinda wanna sing;
O’ Lord I kinda wanna sing;
While I’m here on this sinful world;
I want to sing in your earthy choir;
Lord I know I want to sing;

O’ Lord My God I want to fly;
O’Lord My God I want to fly;
I hold my hands to my side;
As I sway by N by;

O’ I just want to fly;
Flying so high
So very high in the skies;
Ever high till my soul rises soars;
Freely I stand on New Jerusalem;
My work here is hardly done (now);

O’ Lord I kinda wanna sing;
O’ Lord I kinda wanna sing;
When I die I wanna try continually praise you;
I want to sing in your heavenly choir;
Lord I know I want to sing;
