How You Get To Heaven

He never set foot in a church

And he didn’t memorize a verse

My grandfather knew all along

What was really right

And what was really wrong

He practiced, he didn’t preach

And he listened when he was on his knees

He was always kind because he chose to be

And that’s the greatest thing

That he showed me, he believed

It’s not where you go on Sunday

It’s what you do on Monday

Cause you can’t say you love your maker

If you can’t even love your neighbor

He said if you’re asking me

It’s ‘bout what you give not keep

And that’s how he believed

You get to heaven

He gave the little things the most attention

Talk about divine intervention

His life was a sermon, God knows

That didn’t come from behind a stained glass window

It’s not where you go on Sunday

It’s what you do on Monday

Cause you can’t say you love your maker

If you can’t even love your neighbor

He said if you’re asking me

It’s ‘bout what you give not keep

And that’s how he believed

You get to heaven

I know grace because of him

I know exactly what it is

It’s not where you go on Sunday

It’s what you do on Monday

Cause you can’t say you love your maker

If you can’t even love your neighbor

He said if you’re asking me

It’s ‘bout what you give not keep

And that’s how he believed

You get to heaven

And that’s how I believe

You get to heaven

You get to heaven
