Lyrics

Closer To Heaven

Down by the river I went to pray
Until I saw the break of day
I prayed to my savior to bring you home
Its been way too long since you've been gone

I know I need grace and the lord to guide my ways
My evil heart has offended the Ancient of days
But I'm way down and my soul is troubled so
Sweet Jesus show the way that I should go

Lord tell me, tell me if there's a chance that she'll come home
And I will sacrifice my wayward life
and give the lord praise that I ain't always gonna be alone

Closer to heaven I will be
When my baby comes back to me
Angles will sing in harmony
When my darling comes back to me
Alleluia Alleluia

Hear me lord I'm repentin' of my former way
I'll ask for forgiveness until my dying day
I've been to the East of Eden ate from the forbidden tree
But I'll carry my cross if you bring her back to me

I'll walk through hellfire just to prove myself to you
I ain't lying lord I am speaking true
I miss my baby more then prayers can say
If I must be born again let it be today

Lord tell me tell me there's a chance that she'll come home
And I will sacrifice my wayward life and give the lord praise
that I ain't always gonna be alone

Closer to heaven I will be
When my baby comes back to me
Angles will sing in harmony
When my darling is home with me
Alleluia alleluia
AMEN AMEN
