Heaven forbid 

That I refuse the pain and miss the grace

That you have for me in this place... 

Heaven forbid

That my life be lived for passing things

And lives I touch remain the same... 


 Heaven forbid

That I miss the truth

Heaven forbid 

That I waste my youth

Do not permit the enemy

To have the victory

Over me

Heaven forbid


Heaven forbid

That I be a study of showmanship 

And not become your workmanship... 

Heaven forbid

That I carelessly sow convenient seeds 

And convince myself youre using me... 

When I begin to wander away 

I beg you, Lord, compel me to stay.
