Four Feet Eleven Lyrics
Evie
Lyrics
I'm only four feet eleven, but I'm going to heaven
And that makes me feel ten feet tall
They say I'm not too strong but I've known all along
I got the greatest power of all
He lifts me up, makes me shout
Come to Jesus, that's what I'm all about
I'm only four feet eleven, but I'm going to heaven
And that makes me feel ten feet tall
"Well Evie," they say, "How can you preach to people
Who are old enough to be your mom and dad"
"Well," I say, "Have you ever stopped to think
They've had the very same problems I've had"
"But Evie," they say, "How can you preach to people
Who reach down to pat you on the head"
"Well," I say, "We should all be like children
Reachin' up to him instead"
I'm only four feet eleven, but I'm going to heaven
And that makes me feel ten feet tall
They say I'm not too strong but I've known all along
I got the greatest power of all
He lifts me up, makes me shout
Come to Jesus, that's what I'm all about
I'm only four feet eleven, but I'm going to heaven
And that makes me feel ten feet tall
"Well Evie," they say, "How can you preach to people
Who have children that are older than you"
"Well," I say, "Just how old must you be
Before the love of the lord can come through"
"But Evie," they say, "How can you preach to people
Who've known him since 1924"
"Well," I say, "I've been hearin' some knockin'
And I'm old enough to open the door"
I'm only four feet eleven, but I'm going to heaven
And that makes me feel ten feet tall
They say I'm not too strong but I've known all along
I got the greatest power of all
He lifts me up, makes me shout
Come to Jesus, that's what I'm all about
I'm only four feet eleven, but I'm going to heaven
And that makes me feel ten feet tall
I'm only four feet eleven, but I'm going to heaven
And that makes me feel about ten feet tall
