Sleepin’ On Heaven’s Floor

Lyrics

Sleepin' On Heaven's Floor 
@Mike Updike/Rick Lang 
V1
I fell off many a wagon, got my soul stuck in the sand 
Seen everything I treasured, let slip right through my hands 
Been a sinner, been a saint, guess  I’m something in between 
I can’t  help but wonder what the Good Lord thinks of me 
Chorus 
I don't deserve no mansion, or sit at our Savior's side 
I'm sure they won't invite me to sing in Heavens choir 
I'd be just as happy to live forevermore 
In a little tent on those streets of gold
….and lay me down to sleep on heavens floor 
V2
I’ve fought with the Devil, left me black and blue 
Must say he got the best of me, more than a time or two 
I prayed for redemption, to wash all my sins away 
That I might live up there with my Lord someday 
Chorus 
I don't deserve no mansion, or sit at our Savior's side 
I'm sure they won't invite me to sing in Heavens choir 
I'd be just as happy to live forevermore 
In a little tent on those streets of gold
….and lay me down to sleep on heavens floor 
Bridge
Might not get a robe, or a star and crown 
Don’t care if I’m dressed in rags long as I’m heaven bound
