Heart Attack

I drove to Galilee this morning
White-knuckled in the pew
I heard a good man preach a Gospel
I shook his hand when he was through
Though we marvel at the Maker through different colored window panes
We love the same red letters
Both take the bread and wine
But his truth is bold-print in the Scripture
Mine’s hidden in between the lines
He sees a narrow path to Heaven. I see a river deep and wide
There’s east-west
It’s anybody’s guess
Who’s damned, who’s blessed
Or more wicked than the rest
Oh, the answers are a heart attack away
I flew over Bethlehem this morning
Heavy heart upon the ground
Jesus came to feed the hungry
Still people are starving all around
Seems we never love a neighbor who we don’t see eye-to-eye
I keep looking up to Heaven
Afraid to fight the fire below
Singing «Glory, Hallelujah!»
While the hell around us grows
Always crying for a savior instead of being one myself
There’s north-south, with and there’s without
There’s rich
There’s poor
One’s peace, another’s war
So happiness remains a heart attack away
The only truth I know anymore, the only truth I know
The only truth I know anymore is there’s no truth at all
There’s east, west
It’s anybody’s guess
There’s north and there’s south
There’s with and there’s without
Cross your chest, it’s all a heart attack away
Hey, hey I
T’s all a heart attack away
Oh, it’s all a heart attack
