Songfacts®:

  • Brandon Heath wrote this bold declaration of faith with Ross Copperman (Kenny Chesney's "Pirate Flag," Justin Moore's "Point At You") and Lee Thomas Miller, (Trace Adkins' "You're Gonna Miss This," Tim McGraw's "Southern Girl.") "It's really the fundamentals: there's only one way to heaven, and that's through Jesus," Heath stated matter-of-factly. "We wrote that song in an afternoon and we did a demo."

    "I think that it's cool to just start with the fundamentals," he continued. "If you've ever believed that you earn your way to heaven by good deeds and works, you're wrong. All these myths about stairways and highways are wrong. There's no other way to heaven than Jesus. So just putting it plainly is cool."

  • Sisteregina from Hager's TownSay, does anyone know: "there's only one way, that leads to heaven" chorus?
    Also, everyone, ' tis been given for me to know from heaven; once born again and having received the free gift of good God's love in pardoning our sin, confessing Jesus Lord and Savior; then, the works begin to do truth and apply all his mandates inveryday living circumstances. Be reminded: Jesus is yet saying: greater works shall ye do because I go to the Father, also; " .. work out your own salvation with fear and trembling.", besides: "...faith without works is dead."
    Happily and humbly, i submit, in Jesus' name; bc, iam saved the Bible way; he's my elder brother and his Father is my Father ~sisteregina k
