Jesus wrote a blank check  
One I haven't cashed quite yet. 
I hope I've got a little more time. 
I hope it's not the end of the line.

One I haven't cashed yet  all right. 
But if I had to choose a number

I don't want to be number two. 
Yeah  I don't 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 I've got a little more time. 
I hope somebody lends me a dime. 
Now, Jesus wrote a blank check. 
Ah, one I haven't 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.
