He said put nothing before Me
He is the One and Only One
Houses, family, and money
Just good things when it's all said and done
Chorus
There's no such thing as the next best thing to Jesus
There's no such thing as the next best thing to the heavenly home above
There's no such thing as the next best thing to free us
There's no such thing as the next best thing to love
With him there's no imitation
Just real love flowing from on high
Press on in your situation
Cause you are the apple of His eye
Repeat chorus
He's now making preparation
Construction of jasper, pearl, and gold
Heaven is more than an illusion
Truly the half has not been told
Repeat chorus twice
There's no such thing as the next best thing to free us
There's no such thing as the next best thing to love
