What on Earth will you do for heaven’s sake?
Johnny Cash (“Personal File” album)
Did you walk another mile
Turn a frown with a smile
Did you lift a lowly heart about to break
Would you also give your cloak to one that took away your coat?
What on earth will you do for heaven’s sake?
Did you feed the poor in spirit
And defend the prosecuted
Will you show the bound that all the chains can break?
Did you sow the proper seed; are you keeping out the weeds?
What on earth will you do for heaven’s sake?
Will you be one of the meek?
Did you turn the other cheek
Would you give a little more than you will take
Did you shine your little light
Upon the children of the night
What on earth will you do for heaven’s sake?
Did you feed the poor in spirit?
And defend the prosecuted
Will you show the bound that all the chains can break?
Did you sow the proper seed, are you keeping out the weeds?
What on earth will you do for heaven’s sake?
