One Foot In & One Foot Out

He’s got one foot in and the other one is out.
He don’t even know or care what life is all about.
He’d rather be out having fun than praise the Lord & shout.
He’s got one foot in and the other one is out.

He goes to church on Sunday and sings along,
Never hearing the message in the song.
He’ll listen to that preacher preach, but he won’t take it home.
He’ll take a dollar from a friend and swear he’s done no wrong.

He’s got one foot in and the other one is out.
He don’t even know or care what life is all about.
He’d rather be out having fun than praise the Lord & shout.
He’s got one foot in and the other one is out.

Now when he gets to heaven, at those pearly gates,
He’s gonna wonder whey he has to stand and wait.
When they bring that record out and say sorry my friend,
You can’t go to heaven, unless both feet are in.

He’s got one foot in and the other one is out.
He don’t even know or care what life is all about.
He’d rather be out having fun than praise the Lord & shout.
He’s got one foot in and the other one is out.

Let this be a lesson, to you my friend,
You can’t go to heaven, unless both feet are in.
You can’t hang on to the world and serve the Lord too.
You’ve got to give your all and let Him give it back to you.

(chorus)
