[G]There's a better place up there in heaven
There's a better place waiting for[D7] me
There's a better [G]place because of Jesus
He's the one who went and paid the [D7]price for [G]me
I've never been a rich man and [C]probably never [G]will
As long as I live in this world [A7]I'll be a poor man [D7]still
I [G]have no earthly treasures no [C]silver or no [G]gold
Up in heaven there's something better there I'[D7]ll find rest for my [G]soul
[G]There's a better place up there in heaven
There's a better place waiting for[D7] me
There's a better [G]place because of Jesus
He's the one who went and paid the [D7]price for [G]me
I once thought I was hopeless the [C]loser that was[G] me
I didn't believe in heaven [A7]nor that Jesus died for[D7] me
Until [G]that day I found out that [C]Jesus is the [G]key
Then I asked the Lord to save my soul now [D7]there is a place for [G]me
[G]There's a better place up there in heaven
There's a better place waiting for[D7] me
There's a better [G]place because of Jesus
He's the one who went and paid the [D7]price for [G]me
There's a better place up there in heaven
There's a better place waiting for me
There's a better place because of Jesus
He's the one who went and paid the price for me
I've never been a rich man and probably never will
As long as I live in this world I'll be a poor man still
I have no earthly treasures no silver or no gold
Up in heaven there's something better there I'll find rest for my soul
There's a better place up there in heaven
There's a better place waiting for me
There's a better place because of Jesus
