God help you without Jesus You ain't got a prayer You go wandering around in the wilderness And you ain't gonna' get nowhere Some people say when you're dead, you're done Well, who really knows But if you think it's not in here Just wait until those pearly gates close You cook the books For the crooks on the hooks And you all tee off at three Just like there was no such thing as eternity You catch the heat But you're standing mighty close to the stove If you think it's hot here Just wait until those pearly gates close All the things that were killing me Used to make me feel alive I was too blind to see the difference Between living and life My redeemer came to claim me Burning down the wrong road He said, "If you think it's hot here Just wait until those pearly gates close" Jesus is my Savior If you think it's hot here Just wait until those pearly gates close
