created by: oliviahaley [Intro]: [Verse 1] Jesus wrote a blank check One I haven't cashed quite yet. I hope I've got a little more time. I hope it's not the end of the line. Yeah Jesus wrote a blank check. One I haven't cashed yet all right. [Verse 2] But if I had to choose a number I'd want it to be number one. I don't want to be number two. Yeah I don't want to be number four. But I can hear a knock on the door. Jesus wrote a blank check, all right. [Instrumental] [Verse 3] If Jesus saw me dying, Would angels come a flying down? I hope I've got a little more time. I hope somebody lends me a dime. Now, Jesus wrote a blank check. Ah, one I haven't cashed yet. [Bridge] Still I build my towers high. I watch them pierce the blue, blue sky. Still I wallow in the mire. Still I burn this earthen fire. Still I build my towers high. I watch them pierce the blue, blue sky. Still I wallow in the mire. Still I burn this earthen fire. Still I burn this earthen fire. Still I burn this earthen fire. Still I burn this earthen fire. [Instrumental]: A Still I burn this earthen fire. Still I burn this earthen fire. Still I burn this earthen fire. Still I burn this earthen fire. End on A

À propos de la chanson

La chanson évoque l'idée d'une promesse divine inachevée, symbolisée par un chèque que l'on n’a pas encore encaissé. L'artiste exprime un désir d'avoir encore du temps, une aspiration à être au sommet plutôt qu'à la traîne, tout en se questionnant sur l’éventuelle intervention des anges dans des moments de détresse. Il parle également de ses ambitions et de ses luttes intérieures, en construisant des rêves élevés tout en étant confronté à des défis terre-à-terre. Ce contraste entre l'aspiration spirituelle et la réalité humaine donne une profondeur à son parcours de foi.
