[Verse 1]
 
G
Jesus wrote a blank check
G                         G7
One I haven't cashed quite yet.
  C
I hope I've got a little more time.
  G
I hope it's not the end of the line.
     G                   D
Yeah Jesus wrote a blank check.
              G
One I haven't cashed yet all right.
 
[Verse 2]
         G
But if I had to choose a number
    G                    G7
I'd want it to be number one.
C
I don't want to be number two.
     G
Yeah I don't want to be number four.
    G                         D
But I can hear a knock on the door.
              G
Jesus wrote a blank check, all right.

[Verse 3]
 
   G
If Jesus saw me dying,
      G                    G7
Would angels come a flying down?
  C
I hope I've got a little more time.
  G
I hope somebody lends me a dime.
     G                        D
Now, Jesus wrote a blank check.
                  G
Ah, one I haven't cashed yet.
 
 
[Bridge]
 
Am               D
Still I build my towers high.
  G                     C
I watch them pierce the blue, blue sky.
F              E
Still I wallow in the mire.
A
Still I burn this earthen fire.
