Em Alta

Not everything that the earth applauds is approved by heaven
For heaven, being fashionable isn't a priority
What does it matter to be popular here?
Is it actually down there?
(My God) they overvalued earthly approval

I want to be in good standing with God
For everything here is vain and fleeting
I want a life here that is in keeping with the Kingdom

Up in heaven, I want to be high up in heaven
For the highest place is heaven
I see myself singing, worshipping eternally

Up in heaven, I want to be high up in heaven
For the highest place is heaven
I see myself singing, worshipping eternally

I want to be in good standing with God
For everything here is vain and fleeting
I want a life here that is in keeping with the Kingdom

Up in heaven, I want to be high up in heaven
For the highest place is heaven
I see myself singing, worshipping eternally

Up in heaven, I want to be high up in heaven
For the highest place is heaven
I see myself singing, worshipping eternally

There will be no more comparison
Or the need for approval
Heaven is the place where vanity
It loses ground to eternity

There will be no more competition
The value of the view drops
The only thing I'm going to share
It is my worship
Hallelujah!

Do not conform to the patterns of this world
Do you know why?
Because one day in the presence of the Lord is worth more than a thousand elsewhere
Imagine being recognized here
And when the trumpet sounds, Jesus will say
Depart from Me, for I do not know you
Imagine that situation, imagine the pain
So, may we be in good standing with God
May we seek His presence
Because I don't know about you, but I want to walk
In streets of gold, in streets of gold, and worship the Almighty God

Up in heaven, I want to be high up in heaven
For the highest place is heaven
I see myself singing, worshipping eternally

Up in heaven, I want to be high up (in heaven)
For the highest place (is heaven)
I see myself singing, worshipping eternally

Up in heaven, I want to be high up in heaven
For the highest place is heaven
I see myself singing, worshipping eternally

Up in heaven, I want to be high up (in heaven)
For the highest place is heaven
I see myself singing, worshipping eternally

Up in heaven, up in heaven
We will sing in heaven
Ooh, ooh
