The First Step To Heaven
EMORY GORDY, JIM RUSHING
Wake up oh sinner you're facing
The darkness of death
Each moment could be the moment
You draw your last breath
And the weight of your fears are
The shackles that keep you enslaved
But the Blood of the Lamb is the
One way to bypass the grave
The first step to Heaven
Is knowing you're lost
The highway to Glory is the way of the cross
You can hand Him your burdens
The moment you see
The first step to Heaven is
Down on your knees
To all you believers who have
Answered the good shepherd's call
Flood the chasm of darkness with the Light
That can save one and all
Not a soul crosses Jordan on the
Strength of their money or deeds
That mansion up yonder is reserved
For those who believe
