Thereâs a whole lot of people talkinâ âbout getting in the gloryland way
Walkinâ straight and narrow, trying to get to heaven someday
But Iâve been saved by the love of the people livinâ right here
And thereâs a whole lotta heaven shininâ in this river of tears
We donât got a prophet to tell us what our future holds
Weâve only got each other and the love we carry in our souls
Though this worldâs full of trouble and the path we walk is never clear
Thereâs still this whole lotta trouble shininâ in this river of tears
(chorus) Thereâs a whole lotta heaven shininâ 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 ém and your mansion so dear
But Iâll take the whole lotta heaven shininâ in this river of tears
This life that Iâm livinâ is like a ship that donât want to be steered
Sometimes I wake up in the morninâ thinkinâ I could buckle
Beneath the weight of my own fears
Itâs some pain, some strain and some struggle but I persevere
Cause I got a whole lotta heaven shininâ in this river of tears
