I'm so good
I'll go to heaven.
Without God's
Eternal Son
Look at my Life
At what I am
And all the things
I've done.
I've given money
To Charity
I've helped in
Charity shops
I've not told lies
I've not stolen a thing
Now I cannot stop.
My virtues show
Those around
How brilliant
I have been.
I've never watched
Anything bad
And nothing
Too extreme.
I've never taken
A person's life
I've never looked
At someone's spouse
I've never hurt
An animal
Not even a
Tiny mouse
I go to church
Each Sunday.
I sing with
All my heart.
But then I
Feel so sleepy
When the sermon
Starts
I don't know
Why I need God,
Because I'm
Good,
You see.
I think I'll
Go to heaven
On the works
I've done -
That's me.
But heaven is the dwelling place
Of God and His Son
To gain entry there
Isn't based on what YOU'VE done!
It doesn't matter if you're 'good'
God sees inside your heart.
He sees your motives, lusts, desires
He sees your motives, lusts, desires
And who you really are.
He sees those times
When you have taken
That extra break in work.
Stealing time from your employer,
The duties that you shirk.
He sees those times when you covet things
And wish they could be yours.
He knows what you are thinking
And saying behind closed doors.
He sees the hatred in your heart,
The evil thoughts you think.
He knows about those tiny lies,
Whether they're white or black or pink.
Why do you think you'll get there
On the things that you've done?
When all those sins you deny
Have been cast upon His Son
Christ has done all the work:
Lived the life we cannot live!
He died a death we deserved
And our sins He does forgive.
You cannot buy your way to heaven.
There's nothing you can do,
'Cept rest and trust in Jesus Christ
He gave His life for YOU!
