I got news
I got news
I got news, Oh Lord
I got good news
I got a crown up in-a that kingdom
ain't-a that good news?
I got a crown up in-a that kingdowm
ain't a that good news?

I'm-a gonna lay down this world
Gonna shoulder up my cross
Gonna take it home unto my Jesus
ain't-a that good news?
I got a robe up in-a that kingdom
ain't-a that good news?
I got a robe up in-a that kingdom
ain't-a that good news?
I'm-a gonna lay down this world
Gonna shoulder up this cross
Gonna take it home unto my Jesus
ain't-a that good news?
I got a harp up in-a that kingdom
ain't-a that good news?
I got a harp up in-a that kingdom
ain't a that good news?
I'm-a gonna lay down this world
Gonna shoulder up my cross
Gonna take it home unto my Jesus
ain't-a that good news?
I got a song up in-a that kingdom
ain't-a that good news?
I got a song up in-a that kingdom
ain't-a that good news?
I'm-a gonna lay down this world
Gonna shoulder up my cross
Gonna sing my song before my Jesus
Gonna play my harp before my Jesus
I'm gonna put on my robe before my Jesus

I'm gonna wear my crown before my Jesus
ain't-a that good news?
