For Heaven's Sake

I surely knew it was a trap ye

Yet my hands they would not listen

I shoulda known your word was flap

Comin' out all sweet an drippin'

O so where could I go yes but to the lord

I been to your house an' see what you adore

I left there stiff stiff as a board

Where could I go but to the lord

When will I hurt for heaven's sake

When will I suffer for the sake of heaven

All my love well it is madness

Freely given to you folks with gladness

I will not live and die no not by the sword

I am weak without the joy of the lord

Taste and see that the lord is good

Let's bend our knees like we know we should

We can't see clear our eyes are made of wood

Taste and see boy that the lord is good
