[Verse 1] They tell me about your grace I don't think it's true 'cause I've never seen your face They sit in church on Sunday and pass the plate Well I just think it's all a big waste [Verse 2] The preacher pounds his fist and they say amen But my educated mind says, "born again" Preacher says today not tomorrow don't wait But I say again no it's all a big waste [Chorus] It's too late He tried to tell you here on earth but you pushed him away It's too late There is no changing this permanent state It's too late [Verse 3] Laying in bed thinking of my life For the first time I see my inner strife Dust off my Bible and find the last page Then there I realize my life is paraphrased [Verse 4] Read about a multitude stood before the seat And those written in the book of life were received There were cries of anguish and gnashing of teeth And they cried for mercy as they fell to his feet [Chorus] It's too late He tried to tell you here on earth but you pushed him away It's too late There is no changing this permanent state It's too late [Guitar Solo] [Chorus] It's too late He tried to tell you here on earth but you pushed him away It's too late There is no changing this permanent state It's too late (it's too late) He tried to tell you here on earth but you pushed him away It's too late (it's too late) There is no changing this permanent state It's too late
