Closest to Hell Closest to hell , closest to hell Lord save the soul closest to hell How can we pretend that all is well When there is one so close to hell We can spend our days on earthly things The moments of pleasure that they may bring Then bow our heads when we hear the death bells Toll for the one closest to hell We may change there mind with a word or deed If we'll take the time but to plant the seed If we don't try though we'll surely fail To warn the one closest to hell - Rob McNurlin copyright Buffalo Skinner Music BMI
