Parker Millsap Heaven Sent
[Verse 1]
Raised me straight and raised me true
Spent my days becomin' you
Sunday mornin', evenin' too
Sittin' 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
[Chorus]
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?
[Verse 2]
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?
[Chorus]
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?
[Verse 3]
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 first was born in sin
Did you love me then?
Did you love me then?
