ROOM IN HEAVEN FOR ME- Carter Family 1930

    [INSTRUMENTAL BREAK]

Beyond the sea where fades such glorious dreams
Where things are ours that eyes have never seen
The soul's sweet home is blissful ever more
Will there be room for me on that bright shore

    There's room...............Yes, room
            (room for you and me.....room for you and me)
    There's room.......For all
            (room for me....room enough for all)
    There's room....................For all
            (yes, there's room for me....room enough for all)
    Yes, room...................for..me
         (room enough in heaven, yes, room)

(Instrumental)

That wondrous city far beyond confine
Where all is joy and peace so pure divine
In visions I it's glittering streets can see
And wonder if there's room in heaven for me

    There's room...............Yes, room
            (room for you and me.....room for you and me)
    There's room.......For all
            (room for me....room enough for all)
    There's room....................For all
            (yes, there's room for me....room enough for all)
    Yes, room...................for..me
         (room enough in heaven, yes, room)

I long to soar away and be at rest
And there to lean upon my Savior's breast
Oh, won't that be a glorious victory
To find that there is room in heaven for me

    There's room...............Yes, room
            (room for you and me.....room for you and me)
    There's room.......For all
            (room for me....room enough for all)
    There's room....................For all
            (yes, there's room for me....room enough for all)
    Yes, room...................for..me
         (room enough in heaven, yes, room)
