The Lord Made Me Leave You
The lord made me leave you
You know I did not want to
But the Lord made me leave you
So no, you cannot blame me
Because he already forgave me
God already forgave me
And all my laws are written out in stone
Trust in them and not in flesh and bone
Don't throw it all away for love
You'll end up all alone
Am I alone?
He said, "Don't you be naive
Just let her go, don't grieve her
She's just an unbeliever"
And if you try to argue
He says I'll do well to remind you
I only loved you 'cause I tried to
I only loved you 'cause I tried to
She says, "Do we both really have to believe?
I'll sanctify you, or you could sanctify me
Else were our children unclean
Now they are holy
And if we get to heaven
Together or separate
There'll be no wives or husbands
So really, what's the difference?"
