One Cross Away

I used to think that I was something special
Was just about as vain as I could be
So full of pride and self-righteous
Then one day a wise man said to me

You're just one cross away from Heaven
One cross away from the truth
One cross away from forgiveness
One cross away, it's up to you

He told me bout a man in the Bible
Told me that he was a dying thief
His friend hanging there two crosses over
Said repent and you can find relief

You're just one cross away from Heaven
One cross away from the truth
One cross away from forgiveness
One cross away, it's up to you

There was another man in the bible
Prosperous and good but he was lost
Jesus said there's just one thing you're lacking
Sell it all and come take up the cross

You're just one cross away from Heaven
One cross away from the truth
One cross away from forgiveness
One cross away, it's up to you

He said you can't buy it with your money
Your good looks and works won't pay the price
The bible says we're sinners and we're guilty
But that penalty was paid by Jesus Christ

You're just one cross away from Heaven
One cross away from the truth
One cross away from forgiveness
One cross away, it's up to you
