lyrics

I'm gonna get to Heaven / Lord I know I'll see you there
I'm gonna put that white robe on / and set that crown upon my hair
I wasn't taking my time / I had just taken a spill
I wasn't drinking of that fine wine / I was scrounging for my meals
And although I am a preacher's boy / I'll admit I'd gone astray
And though I tried to walk that narrow road / I found it was not straight
God take me still

Angel Angel take my hand / and take me as I bleed
I was forgetting where I came from / I was denying things I need
I kept my eyes on dirty things / oh the places I could sleep
And though the sleep was good and welcome / it was sour with deceit
And my mother's eyes were saddened / and my father said be true
But there's only so much good advice / a foolish boy can use
God take me still

Holy Ghost you've seen my eyes / you've seen and you have known
But the things that I have shown you / only scream and growl and groan
And I hope my heart is red still / and I hope what's in my veins
Is the blood that I was born with / not this bad blood I have made
