If Heaven Depends on Me

When I was young and confident there was nothing I couldn't do
And every obstacle was just another place to prove
I was up to any challenge, I could conquer all
But God showed me that that was only pride before my fall

And if I have to pray enough to somehow get me through
Or make him think I'm good enough by all the things I do
Or if I must scrub harder to clean up this old soul
Or give enough to buy my way onto those streets of gold
I'm afraid I missed it, I'm afraid I know
If heaven depends on me, I can't go

Life has a way of teaching lessons only learned
When tears fall and troubles come and you've got no place to turn
I had all the answers, 'til the fire got too hot
And then I realized that simple faith is all I've got

And if I have to pray enough to somehow get me through
Or make him think I'm good enough by all the things I do
Or if I must scrub harder to clean up this old soul
Or give enough to buy my way onto those streets of gold
I'm afraid I missed it, I'm afraid I know
If heaven depends on me, I can't go

But if God has room for one more lonely, broken, messed up soul
With just a simple faith in Jesus
Praise God and Hallelujah
I can go
