Heaven Sent

Raised me straight and raised me true
 Spent my days becoming you
 Sunday morning, evening too
 Sitting in your second pew
 
 Torn apart, my spirit's spent
 Fell in love on accident
 Wondered just what Jesus meant
 When He said all love was Heaven sent
 
 Papa I don't need a preacher
 I ain't some kind of creature
 From some old double feature
 I just wanna make you proud
 Of the kind of love I've found
 But you say it ain't allowed
 Say that it's a sin
 But it's how I've always been
 Did you love me when he was just my friend?
 ♪
 Tried my hardest not to be
 I locked the door and I broke the key
 Jesus died upon that tree
 Daddy, do you think it covered me?
 
 Red and yellow black and white
 We are precious in His sight
 Why can't I sleep through the night?
 Daddy, do you think I've turned out right?
 
 Papa I don't need a preacher
 I ain't some kinda creature
 For some old double feature
 I just wanna make you proud
 Of the kind of love I've found
 But you say it ain't allowed
 You say that it's a sin
 But it's how I've always been
 Did you love me when he was just my friend?
 ♪
 Papa you're the one that taught me
 By his stripes He sought me
 And with His blood He bought me
 Daddy you're the one that claimed
 That He loved me through the flame
 Now why can't you do the same?
 Well, I've been born again
 But I first was born in sin
 Did you love me then?
 Did you love me then?
