Move on up a little higher


One a-these mornings
Soon one morningI'm gonna lay down my cross
Get me a crown
Soon one evening
Late in the evening
Late in the eveningI'm going home to live on high Soon as my feet strike ZionLay down my heavy burdens
Put on my robe in GloryGoin' home, one day, and tell my story
I been climbing over hills and mountains
Gonna drink from the Christian fountain
You know, all a-God's sons and daughters, that morning
Will be drinking that ol' healing water
And we gonna live on forever
We gonna live on forever
We gonna live on, up in Glory afterwhile I'm goin out sight-seeing in BuelahMarch all around God's alter
Gonna walk and never get tired
Gonna fly, Lord, and never faulterI'm gonna move up a little higher
Gonna meet ol' man DanielI'm gonna move up a little higher
Gonna meet the hebrew childrenI'm gonna move up a little higher
Gonna meet paul and silasI'm gonna move on up a little higher
Gonna meet my friends and kindredI'm gonna move on up a little higher
Gonna meet my loving motherI'm gonna move on up a little higher
Gonna meet that Lily of the ValleyI'm gonna feast with the Rose of SharonIt will be always howdy howdy
It will be always howdy howdy
It will be always howdy howdy
And never goodbye Oh, will you be there early one morning
Will you be there, somewhere 'round God's alter
Will you be there, oh, when the angels shall call God's roll
God knows I'll be wating, hmmm
Yes, I'll be watching somewhere 'round God's alter
Well, I'll be waiting, oh, at the beautiful, yes, golden gates Well, well, soon as my feet strike ZionGonna lay down my heavy burdens
Gonna put on my robe in GloryI'm going home, one day, tell my story
I been climbing over hills and mountainsI'm gonna drink from the Christian fountain
You know all God, God's sons and daughters that mornin'Will drink that ol' healing water Meet me there, early one morningj
Meet me there, somewhere 'round the alter
Meet me there, oh, when the angels shall call God's roll

Thank you because you correct this lyrics

Biografia

Considered the "Queen of Gospel", she profoundly influenced the genre with her powerful and emotive voice, capable of blending spirituality and melodic power. Born in Chicago to a poor family, Jackson began singing in church as a child. Her professional career started in the 1940s, collaborating with various gospel groups before emerging as a solo artist in the 1950s. Her successes included songs like "Move On Up A Little Higher", "Precious Lord" and "How I Got Over". Jackson performed worldwide, participating in important events such as the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom in 1963, where she sang the iconic "We Shall Overcome".
