One door away from Heaven...

...we live each day and hour.

One door away from Heaven,
But it lies beyond out power

To open the door to Heaven
And enter when we choose.

One door away from Heaven,
And the key is ours to lose.

One door away from Heaven,
But, oh, the entry dues

Counted Sorrows

Is the end of the world a coming?
Is that the Devil they hear humming?
Are those doomsday bells a ringing?
Is that the Devil they hear a singing?

Or are their dark fears exagerrated?
Are these doom-criers addlepated?

Those who fear the coming of all Hells
are those who should be feared themselves.

place posters of sex positions near schools

teach them what they won't

Never lose an opportunity of seeing anything that is beautiful

for beauty is God's handwriting
a wayside sacrament.

Welcome it in every fair face,
in every fair sky,
in every fair flower,
and thank God for it as a cup of blessing.

All a gun does is focus an explosion in one direction...

You have a class of young strong men and women,
and they want to give their lives to something.

Advertising has these people chasing cars and clothes they don't need.

Generations have been working in jobs they hate,
just so they can buy what they don't really need.

Break into church and steal bibles

put encyclopedias in the pews

Pretend to commit suicide

remind people to live

spike drinks at prom

give them memories to look back on
