Is Heaven Good Enough For You

(Allison Moorer/Doyle Primm)
Heard the preacher at the service
Declare you'd gone home that day
To meet the Maker and His servants
And take a rest amidst His grace
He said now that you're in heaven
Your trials on earth are through
But I didn't hear him mention
If heaven's good enough for you
He claimed you feel no more sorrow
Since you're free from all life's fears
But can the blessed on God's mountain
Love you more than I down here
I was raised not to question
Promises the Bible makes
But how could the Almighty
Make such a terrible mistake
Did the Lord's illumination
Shine upon you from His throne
When He witnessed my sweet angel
Suffer on the long road home
If there's really no more teardrops
And the streets are paved with gold
Send me down some reassurance
I don't believe what I've been told
If there really is a kingdom
Where you start your life anew
Won't you please somehow convince me
That heaven's good enough for you
