If God had a name, what would it be
And would you call it to His face
If you were faced with Him in all His glory
What would you ask if you had just one question
REFRAIN:

for the lord's gonna come in his heaven airplane.
34"then the king will say to those on his right, 'come, you who are blessed by my father; take your inheritance, the kingdom prepared for you since the creation of the world. 35for i was hungry and you gave me something to eat, i was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, i was a stranger and you invited me in, 36i needed clothes and you clothed me, i was sick and you looked after me, i was in prison and you came to visit me.
