I don't ask you Lord to lighten up my burden
I don't mind to trials on earth that I'd go through
Bein' down I want through that I am worthy
Oh a little spot in heaven close to you

Years ago my mother taught me all your meanings
Of the hardship and the pain that you went through
Know you Lord that I'm ready and I'm waiting
For a little spot in heaven close to you

Presious Lord forget me not don't pass me by
Though there must be others worthier than I
If you condemn Lord here's what I'll have you do
Save a little spot in heaven close to you

If my wish is more than I deserve forgive me
Up in heaven any place would surely do
But I've done my best on earth that's why I'm asking
For a little spot in heaven close to you

At the altar years ago we've got acquianted
And this time went on the love in my heart grew
If it isn't asking too much Lord then save me
Just a little spot in heaven close to you
