Johnny Cash - What On Earth (Will You Do For Heaven's Sake) [Personal File version]

[Intro]
I got a four-hundred power telescope in a place I got in Jamaica and I look at the moon and I look at the stars and one night, I was looking at the stars and I was thinking how big heaven was and I wondered how big God was. You know? If the form of God covered the whole sphere of it all, and I'm sure it does, yet God cares for each and every one of us. I guess He's as small as we want Him to be or as big as we want Him to be. Although we're earthbound, we can still be more like Him if wе can try

[Verse 1]
Did you walk another mile?
Turn a frown with a smile?
Did you lift a lowly hеart about to break?
Would you also give your cloak
To one that took away your coat?
What on earth will you do for heaven's sake?

[Chorus]
Did you feed the poor in spirit
And befriend the prosecuted?
Will you show the bound that all the chains can break?
Did you sow the proper seed?
Are you keeping out the weeds?
What on earth will you do for heaven's sake?

[Verse 2]
Will you be one of the meek?
Did you turn the other cheek?
Would you give a little more than you would take?
Did you shine your little light
Upon the children of the night?
What on earth will you do for heaven's sake?
[Chorus]
Did you feed the poor in spirit
And befriend the prosecuted?
Will you show the bound that all the chains can break?
Did you sow the proper seed?
Are you keeping out the weeds?
What on earth will you do for heaven's sake?
