God help you without Jesus
You ain't got a prayer
You go wandering around in the wilderness
And you ain't gonna' get nowhere
Some people say when you're dead, you're done
Well, who really knows
But if you think it's not in here
Just wait until those pearly gates close
You cook the books
For the crooks on the hooks
And you all tee off at three
Just like there was no such thing as eternity
You catch the heat
But you're standing mighty close to the stove
If you think it's hot here
Just wait until those pearly gates close
All the things that were killing me
Used to make me feel alive
I was too blind to see the difference
Between living and life
My redeemer came to claim me
Burning down the wrong road
He said, "If you think it's hot here
Just wait until those pearly gates close"
Jesus is my Savior
If you think it's hot here
Just wait until those pearly gates close
