A Far Cry from Heaven
What the rich man would give
For what Lazarus has today
He recalls Lazarus begging
For what he threw away
Now the rich man begs for water
When he could've had a river
But he didn't heed
What Lazarus had to say
It's a far cry from Heaven
And a long way from a mansion
But it's just a temporary place to dwell
And I'd rather be saved
And a far cry from Heaven
Than be lost and a close call from Hell
If you could see within these walls
Of this earthly house you'd find
That there lives a rich man
With treasures of a different kind
Though the walls are fast decaying
It's just a short while that I'll be staying
Cause this old house
Is a far cry from home
It's a far cry from Heaven
And a long way from a mansion
But it's just a temporary place to dwell
And I'd rather be saved
And a far cry from Heaven
Than be lost and a close call from Hell
Yes, I'd rather be saved
And a far cry from Heaven
Than be lost and a close call from Hell
For what Lazarus has today
He recalls Lazarus begging
For what he threw away
Now the rich man begs for water
When he could've had a river
But he didn't heed
What Lazarus had to say
It's a far cry from Heaven
And a long way from a mansion
But it's just a temporary place to dwell
And I'd rather be saved
And a far cry from Heaven
Than be lost and a close call from Hell
If you could see within these walls
Of this earthly house you'd find
That there lives a rich man
With treasures of a different kind
Though the walls are fast decaying
It's just a short while that I'll be staying
Cause this old house
Is a far cry from home
It's a far cry from Heaven
And a long way from a mansion
But it's just a temporary place to dwell
And I'd rather be saved
And a far cry from Heaven
Than be lost and a close call from Hell
Yes, I'd rather be saved
And a far cry from Heaven
Than be lost and a close call from Hell
