I'M On the Wrong Side of Heaven

VI.	Look at this place.  There must be some mistake.  I’m on the wrong side of 
Heaven, but I’m saved by grace.  I don’t hear angels sing, but I hear church bell ring.  There 
ain’t nothing like His Amazing Grace.

CH.	I’m on the wrong side of Heaven, cause there ain’t no streets of gold.  I’m on the 
wrong side of heaven, cause there ain’t no mansions here.  I’m on the wrong side of Heaven, 
cause I ain’t seen Jesus yet.  I’m on the wrong side of Heaven cause there ain’t no streets of 
gold.

VII.	I know I’ll be, up there some day, with all my friends and family.  But I’ll have to 
wait, to enter Heaven’s gates.  I’m on the wrong side of Heaven, but I won’t be late.
