Heavens just a prayer a way, woe , woe just a prayer away
I know it's where I'm gonna stay I know I'm get'n in

Away down deep inside, I know I am not that strong
satan keeps tempting me but I am not alo o one.

oh heavens just a prayer a way woe woe just a prayer away
heavens there where I'll stay, I know I'm get'n in

Now I'm old and turning gray, not as fast as I use to be
but I live for him every day, and he's making plans for me

Oh heaven's just a prayer away woe woe just a prayer away 
Im packing my bags to go away 
oh I know I'm get'n in

Now they have dug a hole for me but their not seeing
what I see, thank God I'm get'n in!

Oh heavens just a prayer away, woe woe just a prayer away
In my sights not far away I know I'm get'n in.

Now on earth they said good byes, I saw the tears and heard the cries
the body's down, but the soul it flies thank God I'm going home

oh heavens just in front of me woe woe just in front of me
a new face here down there history, and now I am going in!
