I don't ask you ,Lord, to lighten up my burden

I don't mind the trials on earth that I go through

Bein' down, I want to prove that I am worthy

Of a little spot in Heaven close to you



Years ago my Mother taught me all your meaning

Of the hardship and the pain that you went through

Know you ,Lord, that I am ready and I'm waiting

For a little spot in Heaven close to you



Precious Lord, forget me not don't pass me by

Though there must be others worthier than I

If you can then, 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 got aquainted

And as 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
