Lyrics
Oh I wanna see and hear
Look upon his face
Let us sing forever of his saving grace
On the streets of glory
Let me lift my voice
Cares all past
Home at last
Ever to rejoice
I wanna hear him say well done
One time, one time (one time, one time)
One time, one time (one time, one time)
I just wanna hear him say well done
One time, one time (one time, one time)
One time, one time (one time, one time)
All I wanna do is hear you say it (one time)
Write my name in the book, call me (one time)
That's all I really need just (one time)
I can't wait till I see you (one time)
One, one, one, one, one, one
You gave me my gift go and have it back
You fill me with love so I give it back to you
You gave me my husband you know I love him
And now I give him back so you know I'm all in
Lord, take my children, my family
I want you to know that you have me
I, I need to know that you're happy, yeah
When I finally stop breathing
I wanna hear him say well done
One time, one time (one time, one time)
One time, one time (one time, one time)
I just wanna hear him say well done
One time, one time (one time, one time)
One time, one time (one time, one time)
All I wanna do is hear you say it (one time)
Write my name in the book, call me (one time)
That's all I really need just (one time)
I can't wait till I see you (one time)
One, one, one, one, one, one
I wanna wake up in my heavenly home
All my people bow down to the king on the throne
Hold up! wait a minute!
Gold streets, gold mansions
Just because I love god with a passion
Can't getcha what he gets, but if you ask him
He'll give you that life, can you imagine?
Living without all his grace
Sometimes I still get amazed (yeah, yeah, yeah)
Praise you for all of my days
Until I finally stop breathing
I wanna hear him say well done
One time, one time (one time, one time)
One time, one time (one time, one time)
I just wanna hear him say well done
One time, one time (one time, one time)
One time, one time (one time, one time)
Don't you wanna live a thousand forevers
Closer than ever
Never say never
Don't get any better
I'll love him forever
And worship forever...
Did I serve you right?
Did I live out loud?
Did I do it for you or did I do it all just for the love of the crowd?
Did I give you my all?
Did I give you my life?
Cause you gave me yours so I gotta give it back, man that's only right
Said I wanna hear you say (Well done!)
When you call my name (Well done!)
Can't wait to get there (Well done! Well done! Well done!) on that great day
Said when I get to heaven (Well done!)
Gonna sing and shout (Well done!)
And nobody there put me out (Well done! Well done! Well done!)
Said I will be ready (Well done!)
When he call your name (Well done!)
Do you wanna see Jesus (Well done! Well done! Well done!)
Well done (Well done!)
Good and faithful servant (Well done!)
C'mon! C'mon in! (Well done! Well done! Well done!)
When I see Jesus (Well done!)
Amen! (Well done!)
Amen! (Well done! Well done! Well done!)
Sing hallelujah (Well done!)
With angels (Well done!)
Well done! Well done! Well done!
Well done!

Meaning & Inspiration
Well Done looks toward meeting Christ with a mixture of hope, surrender, and self-examination. The opening borrows the language of seeing the Savior’s face, singing of grace, and reaching a home where earthly cares have passed. Its repeated request to hear approval from God gives that hope a moral focus: the singer wants a life of faithful service, not merely the imagery of heaven.
The song also treats gifts, family, love, and public ministry as belonging to God. Its later questions ask whether service was genuine or driven by a crowd’s praise, introducing a sober concern about motive. The central phrase closely echoes Matthew 25:21, where a faithful servant is welcomed by his master. References to a name in the book and streets of gold also draw on Revelation’s visions of judgment and the new Jerusalem. Together, these images frame heaven as communion with Christ and encourage an account of life shaped by gratitude, stewardship, and enduring worship.
