Lyrics
First Step To Heaven
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Wake up oh sinner you're facing the darkness of death
Each moment could be the moment you draw your last breath
And the weight of your fears are the shackles that keep you enslaved
But the blood of the lamb is the one way to bypass the grave
The first step to heaven is knowing you're lost
The highway to glory is the way of the cross
You can hand him your burdens the moment you see
The first step to heaven is down on your knees
To all you believers who have answered the good shepherd's call
Flood the chasm of darkness with the light that can save one and all
Not a soul crosses jordan on the strength of their money or deeds
That mansion up yonder is reserved for those who believe
The first step to heaven is down on your knees
