There's A Whole Lotta Heaven Lyrics - Sing The Delta - Iris Dement

Theres a Whole Lotta Heaven 

Theres a whole lot of people talkin bout getting in the gloryland way 

Walkin straight and narrow, trying to get to heaven someday 

But Ive been saved by the love of the people livin right here 

And theres a whole lotta heaven shinin in this river of tears 

We dont got a prophet to tell us what our future holds 

Weve only got each other and the love we carry in our souls 

Though this worlds full of trouble and the path we walk is never clear 

Theres still this whole lotta trouble shinin in this river of tears 

(chorus) Theres a whole lotta heaven shinin in this river of tears 

If you pull back the curtain, little diamonds will appear 

You can take your streets of gold if you want m and your mansion so dear 

But Ill take the whole lotta heaven shinin in this river of tears 

This life that Im livin is like a ship that dont want to be steered 

Sometimes I wake up in the mornin thinkin I could buckle 

Beneath the weight of my own fears 

Its some pain, some strain and some struggle but I persevere 

Cause I got a whole lotta heaven shinin in this river of tears
