David Lipscomb, Church of Christ reverend and founder of Lipscomb Academy, did not believe in ghosts. His fellow reverend, Jesse Ferguson, did. In fact, Jesse felt so strongly that spirits were among us that he shocked his Church Street congregation one Sunday morning by announcing, “if you want to know what Heaven is like, just ask the spirits.” All chaos broke lose. His church was burned, and David cast him out of the Church of Christ as a traitor. Jesse escaped to New Orleans, where ghosts and spiritualists were more welcome.

Hand on the Bible heart in the sky
you picked up your rifles and I laid down mine
I’m in the middle walking that fine line
between the truth and a lie
but I hear ghosts find their way home
through the Church Street windows

Oh I believe in things that I can’t see
I feel them all around me like I’m waking in a dream
their words sing like a hymn like morning light through stained glass
so if you want to know what heaven is like just ask

I call on my angels I talk to God
close my eyes and remember all the love I’ve lost
and that silver thread keeps them tied to me always
they might leave but they’re never really gone

Oh I believe in things that I can’t see
I feel them all around me like I’m waking in a dream
their words sing like a hymn like morning light through stained glass
so if you want to know what heaven is like just ask

There is a door a rose-gold gate
you can watch it swing wide open
or turn and look away
but it’s there from the first breath to the last
so when you want to know what heaven is like you’ll ask

Oh I believe in things that I can’t see
I feel them all around me like I’m waking in a dream
their words sing like a hymn like morning light through stained glass
so when you want to know what heaven is like just ask
