Heart Attack

I drove to Galilee this morning

White-knuckled in the pew

I heard a good man preach a Gospel

I shook his hand when he was through

Though we marvel at the Maker through different colored window panes

We love the same red letters

both take the bread and wine

But his truth is bold-print in the Scripture

Mine's hidden in between the line

He sees a narrow path to Heaven. I see a river deep and wide

There's east-west. It's anybody's guess

who's damned, who's blessed

or more wicked than the rest

Oh, the answers are a heart attack away

I flew over Bethlehem this morning

heavy heart upon the ground

Jesus came to feed the hungry

still people are starving all around

Seems we never love a neighbor who we don't see eye-to-eye

I keep looking up to Heaven

afraid to fight the fire below

singing "Glory, Hallelujah!"

while the hell around us grows

always crying for a savior instead of being one myself

There's north-south, with and there's without

There's rich. There's poor

One's peace, another's war

So happiness remains a heart attack away

The only truth I know anymore, the only truth I know

the only truth I know anymore is there's no truth at all

There's east, west. It's anybody's guess

There's north and there's south. There's with and there's without

Cross your chest, it's all a heart attack away

Hey, hey I

t's all a heart attack away

Oh, it's all a heart attack
