1 'Way in heaven I 'll take my seat,
I have a right to the tree of life;
And cast my crown at Jesus' feet,
I have a right to the tree of life.

Chorus:
I wish I was there,
I wish I was there,
I wish I was there,—
I have a right to the tree of life.

2 There 's no dying there,
I have a right to the tree of life;
There 's no dying there.
I have a right to the tree of life. [Chorus]

3 We 'll shout all the way
I have a right to the tree of life;
We 'll shout all the way
I have a right to the tree of life. [Chorus]
