too close / on my way to heaven

Singer:mavis staples

i'm too close to reaching my journeys end

lord i'm too close

to turn back living in a world of sin

i wouldn't take nothing

lord for my journey now

you know i sure got to make it to heaven some how

i'm too close

too close to reaching my goal

lord

lord

lord

lord

i said i'm too close

too close to saving my soul

you know i'm too close

to heaven to turn around

just can't turn around. anyhow

anyhow

my lord. down at the cross oh lord you sure got around

you know that i'm on my way to heaven any how

lord you may

you may shout

you may scorn

scared alive

scared alive my name

you know that on my way

on my way

on my way

on my way

sometimes burden

i'm on my way

i get so tired sometimes

i'm on my way

my road gets a rocky

i'm on my way

i wonder if you're on your way

i wonder

are you on you're way

i am on my way to heaven anyhow

anyhow.
