Ain't That Good News

One of my favorite spirituals. I lost my voice right before
a high school chorus concert where I was supposed to sing
a solo on this song -it was the only time I was ever asked to
sing a solo. I never got to sing the song, so I sing it all
the time now.

I got a robe in that kingdom,
ain't that good news
I got a robe in that kingdom,
ain't that good news
I'm gonna lay down this world,
I'm gonna shoulder up my cross
I'm gonna take it home to my Jesus
Ain't that good news.

I've got a crown in that kingdom,
ain't that good news
I got a crown in that kingdom,
ain't that good news
I'm gonna lay down this world,
I'm gonna shoulder up my cross
I'm gonna take it home to my Jesus
Ain't that good news.

I've got shoes in that kingdom,
ain't that good news
I got shows in that kingdom,
ain't that good news
I'm gonna lay down this world,
I'm gonna shoulder up my cross
I'm gonna take it home to my Jesus
Ain't that good news
My Lord, ain't that good news
