A Better Place Somewhere
Rev. Cleophus Robinson Lyrics

Soon and very soon
It won't be long until we leave this earth.

We gonna have to leave
We will all die eventually.

But I know in my heart
I believe that there is a better place waiting for me after death.

There's a better place for me
Heaven is waiting for me.

So if all of God's promises are yes and amen
Since God always keeps His promises, I have faith that I will go to Heaven.

Then I ain't tripping about my timeline cause this will never end
I am not worried about when I will die because eternal life in Heaven awaits me.

Let me get fitted for my wings so I can fly up in glory
I am eager to go to Heaven and be rewarded for my faith with angelic wings.

Flesh gotta die but soul gets a new story
Our physical bodies will die, but our souls will continue to live on in a new way in Heaven.

Live the best life you can one shot that's what daddy told me
My father advised me to live my life to the fullest, knowing that I only get one chance.

This blessing gotta earn it cause real talk He don't owe me
I understand that going to Heaven is a gift from God and I need to live a good life to earn it.

He got mansions in the sky if it wasn't so He would've told you
God has already promised us the reward of a heavenly mansion and He doesn't need to remind us.

Don't let the world suck you in cause boy it'll hold ya
We need to avoid being tempted by the world and its materialistic desires, as they can distract us from going to Heaven.

I'm talkin hogtie fill ya up with lies and try to mold ya
The devil will deceive us with lies and try to manipulate us, leading us away from God.

Satan shine it up real good and try to control ya
The devil can be deceptive and appear enticing, but he ultimately aims to control us.

Christ already died for me and man He a soldier
Jesus died on the cross to save us from our sins and He is a warrior for our salvation.

My life the best part of waking up don't need no Folgers
My faith and my life in Heaven is the best thing to look forward to every morning.

Let me calm down a bit cause I need y'all to hear this
I want to make sure people understand this message, so I'm going to take a moment to collect myself.

The earth is not your home so don't be trying to fit in
As Christians, we should not be comfortable with fitting in on this earth because we know our true home is in Heaven.

You are chosen royal priesthood His holy nation
Through our faith in God, we are all chosen to be a part of His royal and holy community.

Better get it together stay focused avoid procrastination
We should always strive to be our best selves and avoid putting off important things in our faith journey.

Everybody talking bout Heaven ain't going there
Just because someone talks about going to Heaven does not mean they will actually make it there.

Forgive me of my trespasses daily recite the Lord's Prayer
We should ask for forgiveness for our sins every day and recite the Lord's Prayer as a reminder of our faith.

We make it difficult when all you gotta do is treat others right
Living a good life and treating others with kindness and respect is a simple way to follow God's teachings.

That's step one if you wanna get in the Lamb's book of life
Following God's teachings and treating others right is the first step in getting into Heaven.

We far from perfect just repent and know when you wrong
We are all sinners and make mistakes, but we should ask for forgiveness and learn from our errors.

Keep the Word close so if you get lost you find your way home
By keeping the Word of God in our hearts and minds, we can always find our way back to our faith and to Heaven.

And don't get caught slipping running playing duck duck goose
We should always stay vigilant and not get distracted by the temptations of the world.

God I ain't gotta be first let me in the caboose
I don't need to be the leader or the best, I just want to make it into Heaven and be part of God's community.
