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.
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.
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.
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.
Still I burn this earthen fire.
Still I burn this earthen fire.
Still I burn this earthen fire.
Still I burn this earthen fire.

I'm never 100% sure on Cake lyrics, though. =D

Different approach, less distant from God, but similar message.
