Heaven Sent - Parker Millsap

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

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 ain’t allowed

Say that its 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 that 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 turned out right?

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 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?

Papa you’re the one that taught me

By his strap 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 first was born in sin

Did you love me then?

Did you love me then?
