"How You Get To Heaven" lyrics

He never set foot in a church
And he didn't memorize a verse
My grandfather knew all along
What was really right and what was really wrong

He practiced, he didn't preach
And he listened when he was on his knees
He was always kind because he chose to be
And that's the greatest thing that he showed me
He believed

It's not where you go on Sunday
It's what you do on Monday
Cause you can't say you love your maker
If you can't even love your neighbor
He said if you're asking me
It's 'bout what you give not keep
And that's how he believed
You get to heaven

He gave the little things the most attention
Talk about divine intervention
His life was a sermon, God knows
That didn't come from behind a stained glass window

It's not where you go on Sunday
It's what you do on Monday
Cause you can't say you love your maker
If you can't even love your neighbor
He said if you're asking me
It's 'bout what you give not keep
And that's how he believed
You get to heaven

I know grace because of him
I know exactly what it is

It's not where you go on Sunday
It's what you do on Monday
Cause you can't say you love your maker
If you can't even love your neighbor
He said if you're asking me
It's 'bout what you give not keep
And that's how he believed
You get to heaven
And that's how I believe
You get to heaven
You get to heaven
