Black Gospel Lyric Ministry has a good search tool on their site for use. Click on the link that says search lyrics, then you can type in the words you know from the song, and if it's in their database, it'll show in the results. You can also type in the song title if you know it or the artists and it'll show in the results.

A side note:

The search won't allow contraction words so use other words, so omit them when you're searching. Also, you gotta hit search twice after you typed in the line from a song, if you don't the result won't show.

Too Close To Heaven
written by Alex Bradford
(as recorded by the Davis Sisters)

Verse 1 -

I’m too close to Heaven, to my journey's end,

I'm too close to turn back in a world of sin,

I would’nt take nothing for my journey now,

Just gotta make it to heaven somehow -

Too close to Heaven, I’ve gotta leave this world of strife,

I’ve worked hard, Lord, and I wanna e, e-ternal life,

Too close to Heaven, I’m too close to turn around - , turn around.


Verse 2 -
Oh - yeah, I'm so close to heaven, I can almost see His face,
So close to heaven, I love His amazing grace,
Too close, I get a feeling people a-wait for me,
He loved me so, one day He died just for me,
So close, Mother’s waiting over the hill,
And they tell me, Im’a have no more rocks and rills,
Too close, to turn around.


(not in recording)
I'm so close because He's holding my hand,
and I know He will lead me to the promise land.
