I'm too close

To my journey's end

Hey, I'm too close

To turn back in a world of sin

And that wouldn't take nothing

For my journy now, oh no



You see I've gotta make it

I've gotta make

To heaven somehow, ooh yeah



I'm too close

To reach my goal

Said I'm too close

To finally, finally saving my soul



I tell you that I'm too, too close

To heaven

And I can't turn around

No I can't turn around, oh no



Yeah I'm too close

I can almost see God's face

I'm a little bit too close

And I'll tell the world

I love his grace



I'm so close

Because he's a holding my hand

And I know you will lead me

To the promised land



I'm too close

I wanna see my own mother again

I'm too close

To be shaking hands, shaking hands

With all my friends



Say I'm too close

To heaven

I can't turn around

I promised the Lord

I wouldn't turn around



I'm too close to heaven

I'm too close to heaven
