It is so high
(So high, you can't get over it)
So wide
(So wide you can't get around it)
So low
(So low you can't get under it)
Great God Almighty
(You must come in at the door)

[Chorus]
Oh it is high
(So high you can't get over it)
It is wide
(So wide you can't get around it)
So low
(So low you can't get under it)
You might as well
(You must come in at the door)

[Verse 1]
Well, I went down in the valley
You know I didn't go there to stay
My soul got happy in the valley
You know I stayed right there all day

[Chorus]
It is high
(So high you can't get over it)
It is wide
(So wide you can't get around it)
I know it's so low
(So low you can't get under it)
You might as well
(You must come in at the door)

[Verse 2]
Well, I ain't been to heaven
But I'm told
The streets, the streets are pearls
You know the mighty, mighty, mighty gates are gold

[Chorus]
It is high
(So high you can't get over it)
So wide
(So wide you can't get around it)
So low
(So low you can't get under it)
You might as well
(You must come in at the door)

Well, it is high
(So high you can't get over it)
It is wide
(So wide you can't get around it)
I know it's so low
(So low you can't get under it)
You might as well come in at the door
