Heaven Is On Its Way

I used to be an angry man
I used to live like a garbage can
Listen to what I say
Heaven is on its way

Jesus was with me but I didn't care
Of the mercy of God I was not aware
Listen to what I say
Heaven is on its way

Jesus Christ, man
You set me free
So I raise my hands
Thank You for saving me

I dug a hole and crawled down inside
You couldn't have reached me if you had tried
I reaped what I sowed
But Heaven would not let go

Lying on a hospital bed
I thought for sure I was dead
Baby it's no lie
Heaven will never die

Jesus Christ, man
You set me free
So I raise my hands
Thank You for saving me

Christ on a crutch of my own invention
I flipped Him the bird and paid no attention
I licked my gums with a tongue of flame
But Heaven can not be tamed

The limits of love I put to the test
My heart collapsed like a paper bird in my chest
And while I was passed out in the street
Heaven was at my feet

Jesus Christ, man
You set me free
So I raise my hands
Thank You for saving me

After 3 days Christ walked out of the tomb
After 3 days clean I walked back into the emergency room
How easily we stray
But it's okay!
Heaven is on its way

Jesus Christ, man
You set me free
So I raise my hands
Thank You for saving me
