There's a Whole Lotta Heaven

There's a Whole Lotta Heaven
 There's a whole lot of people talkin' 'bout getting in the gloryland way
 Walkin' straight and narrow, trying to get to heaven someday
 But I've been saved by the love of the people livin' right here
 And there's a whole lotta heaven shinin' in this river of tears
 We don't got a prophet to tell us what our future holds
 We've only got each other and the love we carry in our souls
 Though this world's full of trouble and the path we walk is never clear
 There's still this whole lotta trouble shinin' in this river of tears
 (chorus) There's a whole lotta heaven shinin' in this river of tears
 If you pull back the curtain, little diamonds will appear
 You can take your streets of gold if you want ém and your mansion so dear
 But I'll take the whole lotta heaven shinin' in this river of tears
 This life that I'm livin' is like a ship that don't want to be steered
 Sometimes I wake up in the mornin' thinkin' I could buckle
 Beneath the weight of my own fears
 It's some pain, some strain and some struggle but I persevere
 Cause I got a whole lotta heaven shinin' in this river of tears
