Everybody wants to know the secret; everyone is looking for a way.
People tell us how to get to heaven, but they disagree in what they say.

Some men say sincerity
Will pay the price of liberty,
But people make mistakes when they're sincere.
Some men tell you to believe
Anything you do believe,
But that doesn't seem to be quite clear.
I've waded through the answers. I've found the one that's true.
So if you'll stop and listen, I'll pass it on to you.
God expects perfection from your birth until your death.
This is all you really have to do:
Keep your whole life perfect with your every passing breath.
This is what the Lord expects of you:
Keep the ten commandments,
The eleventh, and the twelfth;
Love the Lord above all else,
And love your neighbor as yourself.
Show kindness to your enemy
And give to all abundantly.
Never hate a man. Never tell a lie.
Never doubt the truth. Never question why.
Always bear the pain. Always take the time.
Always keep the law. Always stay in line.
Then perhaps you'll make it to this throne;
Then perhaps you'll make it on your own.
But if you've any trouble, there's a better way:
Turn around and give your life to Christ,
And God will touch you with his power, and starting from that day
He'll give to you a brand new kind of life.
Yes, if you've any trouble, there's a better way:
Turn around and give your life to Christ,
And God will touch you with his power, and starting from that day
He'll give to you a brand new kind of life.
