Lyrics

BETTER THAN THAT

JUST SITTIN ON MY PORCH, WATCHIN THE WORLD GO BY
I HEAR SOME CHILDREN SINGING IN THE NEIGHBOR'S YARD
IT'S MUSIC TO MY EARS
THERE'S A CLEAR BLUE SKY OVER MY HEAD
THE SUN IS IN MY FACE

AND TAKE MY WORD, IT DOESN'T GET ANY BETTER THAN THAT
TAKE MY WORD, IT DOESN'T GET ANY BETTER THAN THAT

ANOTHER SUNDAY MORNING, I'M SITTIN IN THE BACK OF CHURCH
BUT THIS TIME SOMETHINGS DIFFERENT - I CAN FEEL IT IN THE AIR
I HEAR THE PEOPLE SINGING SONGS - OF GOD'S AMAZING GRACE

WELL TAKE MY WORD - IT DOESN'T GET ANY BETTER THAN THAT
YEAH TAKE MY WORD - IT DOESN'T GET ANY BETER THAN THAT

I HEARD THE PREACHER TELL THE STORY
I'VE HEARD A THOUSAND TIMES BEFORE
HE SAID GOD SO LOVE THIS WORLD - HE GAVE HIS' ONLY SON

TOLD US HOW THEY BEAT HIM - NAILED HIM TO THAT CROSS
BUT THIS TIME SOMETHING WAS DIFFERENT
I COULD FEEL IT IN MY HEART
I FELT THE NAILS GO THROUGH MY HANDS
THE CROWN OF THORNS UPON MY HEAD
THE WORDS CUT ME LIKE A KNIFE
AS A TEAR FELL FROM MY EYE

WELL I LEFT THAT CHURCH A BRAND NEW MAN
GOD GOT A HOLD OF ME

WELL YOU CAN TAKE MY WORD IT DOESN'T GET ANY BETTER THAN THAT
YEAH YOU CAN TAKE MY WORD IT DOESN'T GET ANY BETTER THAN THAT
WELL YOU CAN TAKE MY WORD IT DOESN'T GET ANY BETTER THAN THAT
YEAH YOU CAN TAKE MY WORD IT DOESN'T GET ANY BETTER THAN THAT
