Now this preacher said
That that preacher said
That some preacher long ago said,
"Brother, there's something you get to do.
It makes me so proud when I do it too,"
There goes a woman called Mother Teresa.
She's livin' such a godly life.
It's too bad she just don't know the truth.
You can't earn your way in, and she knows it, too.
You say you're a Methodist? Too bad: you're going to Hell!
So you're a Presbyterian, eh? You're goin' as well.
Mark my words, I'm absolutely certain heaven's gonna be a real empty place.
'Cause we're saved by happening to find the right doctrines --
It's got nothin' to do with grace.
Now then, you ask me, "Who'll make it in?"
Well, just let me pause and reflect.
Now that I think of it, there's just us two,
And brother, I ain't so sure about you.
Since you're pressing me for an answer, I'll be walkin' those streets all alone.
Can't see no one else bein' 'round:
Just me...
And the Lord...
And the throne.
Well, this Bible said
That Jesus said
That some prophet long ago said,
"Brother, there's something you're trying to do
That you just don't have the right to do,"
