In the upper room with Jesus
Sitting at his blessed feet (feast)
Daily there, my sin confesses
Begging for his mercy, sweet
Trusting his grace and power
Seeking there, his love in prayer
It is then I feel the spirit
As I sit with him in prayer

Oh, it's in the upper room with Jesus
Oh, it's in the upper room with my Lord
And your God
Well, it's in the upper room
Yes, it's in, in the upper room
Well it's in, in the upper room
Talking with my Lord
Oh, my God
(etc.)
