Jesus wrote a blank check,
One I havent cashed quite yet.
I hope Ive got a little more time.
I hope its not the end of the line.
Yeah, jesus wrote a blank check.
One I havent cashed yet, all right.

But if I had to choose a number,
Id want it to be number one.
I dont want to be number two.
Yeah, I dont want to be number four.
But I can hear a knock on the door.
Jesus wrote a blank check, all right.

If jesus saw me dying,
Would angels come a flying down?
I hope Ive got a little more time.
I hope somebody lends me a dime.
Now, jesus wrote a blank check.
Ah, one I havent cashed yet.

Still I build my towers high.
I watch them pierce the blue, blue sky.
Still I wallow in the mire.
Still I burn this earthen fire.

Still I build my towers high.
I watch them pierce the blue, blue sky.
Still I wallow in the mire.
Still I burn this earthen fire.
Still I burn this earthen fire.
Still I burn this earthen fire.
Still I burn this earthen fire.

Still I burn this earthen fire.
Still I burn this earthen fire.
Still I burn this earthen fire.
Still I burn this earthen fire.
