CHORUS: Sometimes heaven seems so far away
|
With all that you're going through everyday
|
From being tempted to resented and you need direction
|
Sometimes heaven seems so far away
|
With all of the money spent that you make
|
But the righteous won't be forsaken
|
You just keep on pressin'
|
|
VERSE: I might get personal so protect your toes
|
Cause i feel i need to let my heel down
|
For we do all that we can to
|
Treat our NEIGHBOR right but
|
Sometimes we wanna scream
|
We try to turn the other cheek
|
And stay on our knees and keep our tempers under control, but you know
|
Every now and then you wanna tell somebody what they mean
|
|
CHORUS: Sometimes heaven seems so far away
|
With all that you're going through everyday
|
From being tempted to resented and you need direction
|
Sometimes heaven seems so far away
|
With all of the money spent that you make
|
But the righteous won't be forsaken
|
You just keep on pressin'
|
|
VERSE: Working that Job so hard from dusk to dawn
|
To keep a decent roof overhead
|
But your debt is evergrowing
|
Even working over time
|
And sometimes you wanna scream
|
But God knows the pain is there and how much we can
|
bear we didn't come this far to be left alone
|
That's why we gotta be strong for the prayers of the righteous will availeth many things
|
|

But the righteous won't be forsaken

HOOK: For the trials that we see are here to make us stronger
|
Grab onto his hand and live in fear no longer
|
Like a tree planted by the rivers of water
|
We shall not be moved
|
Stand firm in your service
|
Your eyes will be dried in the morning
|
|
