Heaven's to Betsy lyrics

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's got Shekinah in her eyes

Betsy's always speaking 'bout the truth

And she'll never tell you a lie

(Oh, 'cause)

Heaven's to Betsy as food is to a starving man

Heaven's to Betsy as rain is to dry land

Heaven's to Betsy, Heaven's to Betsy

Me, I'm just a simple man

Probably a lot like you

Try so hard, Lord knows 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

(And)

Heaven's to Betsy as food is to a starving man

Heaven's to Betsy as rain is to dry land

Heaven's to Betsy as dreams are to all of our plans

Heaven's to Betsy, Heaven's to Betsy

I went before the throne (and then a vision came)

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
