C G F
As Jesus walked down the street within the reach of the crowd
F G C G C
The power was both felt and heard, but what He said was not said loud.
G F
HE felt a power leave his body. A woman had been ill.
G F G G7
But she touch the hem of his garment, and by her faith she was healed.
F C
If we are too heavenly minded . . . We'll be no earthly good
F G G7
If we're not close enough for the world to touch, then we didn't do what we could.
F C
If we're too heavenly minded . . . Our purpose won't be found
F Am G F C
We've got to keep our eyes on heaven . . . and our feet on the ground.
He visited the sick, the poor. The hungry and the lame
He was close enough to the people . . to hear them call his name.
He never sought for money, for power or for fame.
He carried out the words that he spoke to everyone the same.
C F C C
Now I am not saying we shouldn't think of Heaven
G F G7
But just stop and think of what we say and do.
C F C F C
Cause if we are only . . heavenly minded
G F G7
Our heaven on earth will not shine for me and you.
