Lyrics
I started out with Jesus
At a very early age
Yes I've known Him nearly all of my life
Well I admit there have been times
When I faltered along the way
But I'll keep trying because somehow I've gotta make it in
You see I've got a charge on my life
And I've got a job to do
And I can't stop until it's through
‘Cause I'm determined
I've got a made up mind
I can't stand around wasting my time
I'm gonna keep on working for Jesus
Every day of my life
‘Cause I've got heaven on my mind
I don'thave time to waste
Criticizing someone else
There are some things I'd rather leave behind
And another thing
And I don't have time to be bothered
With he said that she said that they said
‘Cause it's all I can do to keep my own self in line oh Lord
I must work while it’s day
‘Cause I know the night is surely coming
I'm going all all the way
I'm determined
I've got a made up mind
I can't stand around wasting my time
I'm gonna keep on working for Jesus
Every day of my life
‘Cause I've got heaven on my mind
I can't understand
How some people can move so slow
Maybe they don't know just what time it is
Jesus is coming back
And I know it won't be long
I've gotta be ready I've gotta be ready
For my starry crown
I want to hear Him sayI want to hear Him say
Well done
You can talk about me
Say what you wanna say
You can stand around wasting your time
While you're talking I'm gonna keep on walking
‘Cause I’ve got heaven on my mind
You can talk about me
Say what you wanna say
You can stand around wasting your time
While you're talking I'm gonna keep on walking
‘Cause I’ve got heaven on my mind
On my mind
