Heaven is full of criminals, lunatics, liars, and thieves. Hi everyone, I'm Phil Kagey, and I had the opportunity recently to play on Rick Lee James' new song, Heaven Is Full of Criminals. Wow, what a great song that is. I just loved it. I felt so inspired, and he asked me if I'd play some guitar on it. I played this one on it, and what a beautiful song. What a great message. What a message of hope that so many of us need to hear today. So I just hope you get a chance to listen to the song. It's lovely, it's full of wisdom, it's full of compassion, it's full of the mercy of Jesus Christ. Hallelujah! God bless you all. Hope you enjoy it.
Heaven is full of criminals, lunatics, liars, and thieves. Jesus forgives all manner of them. Maybe there's still hope for me. Heaven is full of criminals.
