Mary Mary is a contemporary gospel group consisting of sisters Erica Campbell and Tina Atkins. The group is named after the two Marys of the Bible; Mary, the mother of Jesus and Mary Magdalene.
Mary Mary - "Heaven" (uplifting tune about wanting to go to/making it, to Heaven)
I gotta get myself together 'cause I got some place to go
And I'm praying when I get there I'll see every one I know
I wanna go to Heaven, I wanna go to Heaven
Said I wanna go to Heaven, I wanna go to Heaven Do you wanna go
Can you picture a place where there's a smile on every face
And all the worry, all the stressing, all the pressure's been erased
Walking down a street that's golden, angels singing, perfect weather
Everybody's got a mansion, y'all it just don't get no better, I wanna go
I gotta get myself together, 'cause I got some place to go
And I'm praying when I get there, I'll see everyone I know
I wanna go to Heaven, I wanna go to Heaven
Said I wanna go to Heaven, I wanna go to Heaven
Do you wanna go?
The only way I can explain it, is that in life we go through changes
Though we know it serves a purpose, still sometimes it just seems worthless
But this race that I am running, whether I run it fast or slow
Long as I just keep on running, I'm gonna make it there someday, I know
I gotta get myself together, 'cause I got some place to go
And I'm praying when I get there, I'll see everyone I know
I wanna go to Heaven, I wanna go to Heaven
Said I wanna go to Heaven, I wanna go to Heaven>
Do you wanna go?
There's a place for us, one day I wanna see it
There's a place for us, and you may not believe it
But I'm just living my life, so I can live again
Everyday I'm getting ready, 'cause I wanna make it in, oh, heaven
I gotta get myself together, 'cause I got someplace to go ('cause I got someplace to go)
And I'm praying when I get there (I'm praying), I see everyone I know
I wanna go to heaven (I wanna go to Heaven), I wanna go to heaven
Oh, it gets hard sometimes, sometimes I lose my way
But Lord knows I'm trying to get to Heaven someday
Said, I wanna go to Heaven (to that beautiful city), I wanna go to Heaven
(If I was going now) I wanna go to Heaven (hope to meet you there), I wanna go to Heaven
I wanna go to Heaven, I wanna go to Heaven
I wanna go (Heaven)
For a song about people wanting to go to Heaven,
It doesn’t tell people how they can actually get there...
(Confess and believe Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior)
Such contemporary chanting watered down dribble
Nowhere does the song mention Jesus, the only way to get to heaven.
Lovely young women, and a happy, catchy tune with attractive visuals.
It’s a shame about the sniffers and scoffers on this thread. I guess a Christian pop song can’t just be about joy in the Lord — it has to inflict guilt, shame and anxiety about whether you’re doing it right at all times!!!—according to them.
