Jesus Wrote a Blank Check

If Jesus saw me dying
But if I had to choose a number
Still I burn this earthen fire
Still I build my towers high

I don't want to be number two
I hope somebody lends me a dime
I watch them pierce the blue, blue sky

One I haven't cashed yet, all right
Still I burn this earthen fire
One I haven't cashed yet
Still I burn this earthen fire
I'd want it to be number one
Still I wallow in the mire
I hope I got a little more time
Still I burn this earthen fire

Still I build my towers high
Jesus wrote a blank check, all right
Still I burn this earthen fire
Yeah, Jesus wrote a blank check
Still I burn this earthen fire

Now, Jesus wrote a blank check
Still I wallow in the mire
Yeah, but I can hear a knock on the door
I hope it's not the end of the line

Would Angels come a-flying down?
Yeah, I don't want to be number four
I watch them pierce the blue, blue sky

I hope I got a little more time

Still I burn this earthen fire
Still I burn this earthen fire
