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?
