C                        G7                     C
Wake up oh sinner you're facing the darkness of death

                         G7                        F
Each moment could be the moment you draw your last breath

                                                            C
And the weight of your fears are the shackles that keep you enslaved

                                 G7                    C
But the blood of the lamb is the one way to bypass the grave


                  G7                       C
The first step to heaven is knowing you're lost

               G7                      C
The highway to glory is the way of the cross

                      F                      C
You can hand Him your burdens the moment you see

                  G7                     C
The first step to heaven is down on your knees


                              G7                           C
To all you believers who have answered the good shepherd's call

                                     G7                          F
Flood the chasm of darkness with the light that can save one and all

                                                            C
Not a soul crosses Jordan on the strength of their money or deeds

                          G7                     C
That mansion up yonder is reserved for those who believe


                  G7                       C
The first step to heaven is knowing you're lost

               G7                      C
The highway to glory is the way of the cross

                      F                      C
You can hand Him your burdens the moment you see

                  G7                     C
The first step to heaven is down on your knees

                       
                  G7                     C
The first step to heaven is down on your knees
