HOW TO GET TO HEAVEN Lyrics

Dead in the wages of my sin

Lost and no hope within

I tried and tried on my own

But surrender's the only way to go

Cause I'd be bound for hell

In the mess that I created

I couldn't save myself

From the cross where I'd be hanging

But Jesus traded a throne for a manger

And traded crowns for a cross

He won my soul forever

I was dead

If being good was how to get to heaven

For all have sinned and fall short

But it only takes one choice

Through Jesus I've been justified

I boast in Christ, it's not mine

Cause I'd be bound for hell

In the mess that I created

I couldn't save myself

From the cross where I'd be hanging

But Jesus traded a throne for a manger

And traded crowns for a cross

He won my soul forever

I was dead

If being good was how to get to heaven

I can't do enough to be

All that Jesus was for me

He laid perfection down

That was the only way out

I'd be bound for hell

In the mess that I created

I couldn't save myself

From the cross where I'd be hanging

But Jesus traded a throne for a manger

And traded crowns for a cross

He won my soul forever

I was dead

If being good was how to get to heaven
