Four Feet Eleven

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´ve 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´ve 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 nineteen-twenty-four?"
"Well, "I say, "I´ve been hearin´ some knocking´,
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´ve 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 ten feet tall.
