Heaven Is 10 Zillion Light Years Away

They say that heaven is ten zillion light years away

And just the pure at heart will walk her righteous streets someday

They say that heaven is ten zillion light years away

But if there is a God, we need Him now

"Where is your God?"

That's what my friends ask me

And I say, "It's taken Him so long 'cause we've got so far to come"

Tell me people

Why can't they say that hate is ten zillion light years away?

Why can't the light of good shine God's love in every soul?

Why must my color black make me a lesser man?

I thought this world was made for every man

He loves us all, that's what my God tells me

And I say, "It's taken Him so long 'cause we've got so far to come"

But in my heart I can feel it (Yeah)

Feel His spirit, whoa-whoa-whoa

Feel it, yeah, feel His spirit

I can't say that heaven is ten zillion light years away

But if so let all be pure at heart just to walk her righteous streets

I pray, let God's love shine within to save our evil souls

For those who don't believe will never see the light

Where is my God?

He lives inside of me

And I say, "It's taken Him so long 'cause we've got so far to come"

Ah people, where is your God?

Inside, please let Him be

And I say, "It's taken Him so long 'cause we've got so far to come"

But if you open your heart, you can feel it, yeah, yeah, yeah

Feel His spirit, whoa-whoa-whoa

Feel it, you can feel His spirit

I opened my heart one morning and I sure enough could feel it, yeah, yeah

Feel His spirit, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

You can feel it, yeah, feel His spirit, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

You can feel it
