You can’t get to heaven by living like hell
You’ll never see Jesus when he rings that golden bell
You’ll never walk that glory road and get to know God well
No, you can’t get to heaven by living like hell

People use the grace of God as a license to sinn
Thinking they can mess around and still get on to Him
But if you read the bible it explains us quite well
You can’t get to heaven by living like hell

You can’t get to heaven by living like hell
You’ll never see Jesus when he rings that golden bell
You’ll never walk that glory road and get to know God well
You can’t get to heaven by living like hell

Look all around you at the suffering and pain
Well it looks a lot like long ago when God sent the rain
But this time it’s fire and the smoke I can smell
You can’t get to heaven by living like hell

You can’t get to heaven by living like hell
You’ll never see Jesus when he rings that golden bell
You’ll never walk that glory road and get to know God well
You can’t get to heaven by living like hell

You can’t get to heaven by living like hell
You’ll never see Jesus when he rings that golden bell
You’ll never walk that glory road and get to know God well
You can’t get to heaven by living like hell

No you can’t get to heaven by living like hell
