Heaven’s to Betsy

In a world of chunks of coal
Betsy is a diamond
In all she says and all she does
You can see Christ inside her
And she speaks with the tongue of Samuel
She got shekinah in her eyes
Betsy's always speaking 'bout the truth
And she just never tell you a lie

Oh, 'cause Heaven's to Betsy
As food is to a starving man
Whoa-whoa, Heaven's to Betsy
As rain is to dry land
Whoa-whoa, Heaven's to Betsy
Heaven's to Betsy

Me I'm just a simple man
Probably a lot like you
I try so hard, Lord, how I try
But it's hard to live a life of truth
But the spirit's working in me
And my young heart rages with fire
I want to be like Betsy
'Cause Betsy's just like Jesus
It's my prayer, it's my fervent desire

Oh, 'cause Heaven's to Betsy
As food is to a starving man
Whoa-whoa, Heaven's to Betsy
As rain is to dry land
Whoa-whoa, Heaven's to Betsy
As dreams are to all of our plans
Whoa-whoa, Heaven's to Betsy
Heaven's to Betsy

I went before the throne
This is what I saw
No matter how low you are
When you stumble
You can stand ten feet tall
'Cause there's a little Betsy in us all

Heaven's to Betsy
Whoa, whoa, whoa
Come on
Heaven's to Betsy
Whoa, whoa, whoa
Heaven's to Betsy
Whoa, whoa, whoa
Heaven's to Betsy, ya'll
Heaven
Heaven, Heaven

Heaven's to Betsy
Whoa, whoa, whoa
Whoa-whoa, Heaven's to Betsy
As rain is to dry land
(Whoa, whoa, whoa)
Whoa-whoa, Heaven's to Betsy
I ain't tellin' you no lie
(Whoa, whoa, whoa)
I speak the truth
Heaven's to Betsy
Come on and tell me
What is Heaven to you
Heaven, Heaven, Heaven
