Heaven Sent Songtext

von Parker Millsap

Raise me straight and raise me true
Spent my days becoming you
Sunday morning, evening too
Sitting in your second pew

Torn apart, my spirits spent
I 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 want to make you proud
Of the kind of love I've found
But you say it's not allowed
Say that its a sin
It's how I've always been
Did you love me when he was just my friend?

Tried my hardest not to be
But I locked the door and I broke the key
Jesus died upon that tree
Daddy do you think he'd covet me
Red and yellow black and white
We are precious in his sight
So why can't I sleep through the night?

Papa I don't need a preacher
I ain't some kinda creature
For some old double feature

I just want to make you proud
Of the kind of love I've found
But you say it's not allowed
Say that its a sin
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
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
Now I've been born again
But first I was born in sin
Did you love me then?
