Once upon a time, there was a man who had two sons The younger one left his home into the world There he wasted his life doing many wicked things But his father waited patiently And he came to his senses and came running to his father Forgive me, forgive me Forsake the world; there is a better place For you and for me and the entire human race There's a home in heaven or a burning lake of fire Make a better choice with Jesus today There's a place beyond the sky And it's heaven up above Jesus died on the cross to save the sinner Just believe and receive, you will have abundant life And your name will be in the book of life For there's no other name, whereby we can saved It is Jesus, it is Jesus Forsake the world; there is a better place For you and for me and the entire human race There are people dying, never heard about salvation And the savior Jesus Christ A wise man builds his house upon the rock But a foolish man builds his house upon the sand When the winds blow and the rains fall, will you be standing firm Build your house upon Jesus Christ the rock It will stand!! Yes in my father's house, there are many mansions there In that place, there'll be peace forever more With the saints, with our friends, with the Lord forever more, In that place, there will be no kind of sorrow For God so loved the world that He gave his only son You must believe him, just believe in him With the Lord, we'll have a better place, For you and for me and the entire human race There are people dying, never heard about salvation And the savior Jesus Christ
