Text: Mahalia Jackson. Gospels, Spirituals & Hymns. In The Upper Room.

[Verse:]
In the upper room with Jesus,
sitting at His blessed feet.
Daily does my sin confessing,
begging for His mercy, sweet.

Trusting in His grace and power,
seeking there, His love in prayer.
It is then I feel the Spirit,
as I sit with Him up there.

[Chorus:]
In the upper with Jesus.
In the upper room with my Lord.
In the upper room,
in the upper room,
it's in the upper room,
yes, with my Lord.

In the upper with Jesus.
In the upper room, I'm taking with my Lord.

In the upper room,
in the upper room,
it's in the upper room,
yes, with the Lord.
