I can't explain it, son
He answered my questions
My body's dead, but I can run again
It ain't what I imagined, though, to be what's like around the throne
An infinitely better home, my friend

Heaven ain't like what they said
Spoke to Jesus, ate the bread
It's the best I've ever tasted
Son, your life, don't go waste it
Hold to Jesus til the end
He can wash away your sin
Go on preach now to the earth
Tell 'em 'bout the second birth

As I drifted out of sight
My body decayed and died
But my spirit ascended like a dove
And I saw my family, tears they wept, but I'ma be
On my way to eternity above

Heaven ain't like what they said
Spoke to Jesus, ate the bread
It's the best I've ever tasted
Son, your life, don't go waste it
Hold to Jesus till end
He can wash away your sin
Go on, preach now to the earth
Tell 'em 'bout the second birth

Walk the narrow road to life
Holy men and women go preach the gospel
Bring them home
Whether family friend or foe
Flee the darkness of the earth
Shine the light of Jesus' words
Speak in boldness for the cross
For our Savior bring applause

I'm looking forward to seeing ya
But as for my sweet Rebecca
Can't wait to catch up in eternity
And I remember very well, whom I did and didn't tell
So tell 'em son, and tell 'em well for me

Heaven ain't like what they said
Spoke to Jesus
It's the best I've ever tasted
Son, your life, don't go waste it
Hold to Jesus to the end
He can wash away your sin
Go and preach unto the earth
Tell 'em 'bout the second birth

Heaven ain't like what they said
Spoke to Jesus ate the breath
It's the best I've ever tasted
Son, your life, don't go waste it
Hold to Jesus to the end
He can wash away your sin
Go on preach now to the earth
Tell 'em 'bout the second birth

Yeah, heaven ain't like what they said
