Heaven Is Ten Zillion Light Years Away

They say that Heaven is

10 zillion light years away

And just the pure of heart

Will walk her righteous streets someday

They say that Heaven is

10 zillion light years away

But if there is a God

We need Him now

"Where is your God?"

Well that's what my friends ask me

And I say, "It's taken Him so long

'Cause we've got so far to come"

Why can't they say that hate is

10 zillion light years away

Why can't the light of good

Shine God's love in every way

Why must is color black

Make him a lesser man

I thought this world

Will made for every man

He loves us all

That's what my God tells me

And I say, "It's taken Him so long

'Cause we've got so far to come"

And I can't say that Heaven is

10 zillion light years away

But if so let all be pure of heart

Just to walk her righteous streets I pray

Let God's love shine within

To save our evil souls

To those who don't believe

Will never see the light

"Where is my God"

He lives inside of me

And I say, "It's taken Him so long

'Cause we've got so far to come"

I say, "It's taken Him so long

'Cause we've got so far to come"
