Heavenly Father Lyrics by Katie Buxton

Something Different

2017

[Verse 1]
Heavenly Father, they told me I was a sinner
Said I was born with ugliness in my heart
And Father, I remember
Being five years old, not knowing what I'd done wrong
[Pre-Chorus]
Teacher said, "Heaven's not for everyone, hell is for most
So keep your mouth shut or you know where you'll be going"
[Chorus]
But what kind of God only loves on condition
If this is the one they speak of then I don't want to meet him
Since when is salvation reserved for a few
Based on the number of sermons you sit through
Or prayers that you choose
It sure as hell isn't the God I know to be true
[Verse 2]
Heavenly Father, they say love your neighbor
But don't get too close if he loves another man
And Father they say I'm your child
Then they tell me I'm cursed if I don't change myself for you
[Pre-Chorus]
They say, "Heaven's not for everyone, hell is for most
So keep yourself in line or you know where you'll be going"
[Chorus]
But what kind of God only loves on condition
If this is the one they speak of then I don't want to meet him
Since when is salvation reserved for a few
Based on the number of sermons you sit through
Or prayers that you choose
It sure as hell isn't the God I know to be true
[Break]
Ooo
Ooo
Ooo
Ooo
[Chorus]
But what kind of God only loves on condition
If this is the one they speak of then I don't want to meet him
Since when is salvation reserved for a few
Based on the number of sermons you sit through
Or prayers that you choose
Based on who is first to sit in the front row pew
It sure as hell isn't the God I know to be true
[Outro]
Heavenly Father, they tell me a baby
Born out of marriage is a sign of wicked sin
So why then do I see no evil
When I look to my mother who gave me everything on her own
