I need to say these things 'cause
I love you so
And I'm sorry you get angry when I say that
You just don't know

That there's a heaven waiting
For you and me
I know it seems every time we talk
I'm only tryin' to just make you see

And it's only that I care
I really only want
Just to see you there

Please try and overlook my
My human side
I know I'm such a bad example
And you know I'm so full of pride

But Jesus isn't like that
No He's perfect all the way
I guess that's why we need Him
Cause by ourselves, there's just no way

And it's only that I care
I really, really only want to see you there
Just to see you there

Close the doors
They're just not comin'
We sent the invitations out long, long, long, long time ago
We're still gonna have a wedding feast
Big enough to beat them all
The greatest people in the world just wouldn't come
So now we'll just have to invite the small

And it's only that I care
I really, really only want
Just to see you there

Isn't that Jesus?
Isn't that Joseph and Mary's son?
Well, did He grow up right here?
He played with our children

What! He must be kidding
Thinks He's a prophet
Well, prophets don't grow up from little boys
Do they? From little boys?
Do they?
