So High

Elvis Presley · I Believe: The Gospel Masters [2009]

Well, he's so high (so high you can't get over him)

So wide (so wide you can't get around him)

So low (so low you can't get under him)

Great God almighty (you must come in at the door)



Oh well, he's high (so high you can't get over him)

He's wide (so wide you can't get around him)

So low (so low you can't get under him)

The mighty lamb (you must come in at the door)



Well I went down in the valley

You know I did over there ever stay

My soul got happy in the valley

You know I stayed right there all day



Well, he's high (so high you can't get over him)

And he's wide (so wide you can't get around him)

I know he's so low (so low you can't get under him)

The mighty lamb (you must come in at the door)



Well I ain't been to heaven but i'm, I'm told

The streets the streets are pearls

You know the mighty mighty

Mighty gates are gold



And he's high (so high you can't get over him)

So wide (so wide you can't get around him)

He's so low (so low you can't get under him)

The mighty lamb (you must come in at the door)



Well, he's high (so high you can't get over him)

And he's wide (so wide you can't get around him)

I know he's so low (so low you can't get under him)

The mighty lamb (you must come in at the door)
