You Can't Get to Heaven

I'm sitting in my office, making last minute preparations for this morning's service, and what song do I hear from the Sunday School kids?

Oh you can't get to heaven,
In a tissue box,
Oh you can't get to heaven,
In a tissue box,
Oh you can't get to heaven in a tissue box,
'Cause God don't want no little snots,
All my sins are washed away I've been redeemed,
I love the lamb.

Oh you can't get to heaven,
In Sheila's car,
Oh you can't get to heaven,
In Sheila's car,
Oh you can't get to heaven in Sheila's car,
The piece of junk won't go that far,
All my sins are washed away I've been redeemed,
I love the lamb.

Nothing really out of the ordinary. Then, I hear this verse:

Oh you can't get to heaven,
As a Raven fan,
Oh you can't get to heaven,
As a Raven fan,
Oh you can't get to heaven as a Raven fan,
'Cause God's a Steeler football fan,
All my sins are washed away I've been redeemed,
I love the lamb.

I love Pittsburgh. I love my church. And I really love that new verse.
