Yeah I wrote this song
And I pray that you listen to all the words
‘Cause I feel like at some point in everybody’s life
We feel like this

Lord, I’m split in two
Part of me loves the world
And the other loves You
So, what do I do
I wanna be saved
But I got to stay cool, too
And no I’m not a fool
I know eventually I’m gonna have to choose
And, really I don’t wanna lose
My ticket into heaven
And a chance to be used by You

And if it’s God that I’m after
I just can’t serve two masters
And before something happens
I got to turn it all around
Because I know
I can’t just have my cake and eat it too
‘Cause it’s real easy to stay on the fence and still do you
And it’d be cool if we could love the Lord and still go do our thing
But see it doesn’t work like that
You gotta to be white or black

See I’ve realized
When it comes to sin
You just don’t compromise
See it’s a matter of death and life
Be weak and do wrong
Or be strong and do right
And I don’t wanna keep going to church
Singing all about how much You’re worth
And then continue doing my dirt
Living as if I didn’t care if You’re hurt

‘Cause if it’s God that I’m after
I just can’t serve two masters
And before something happens
I got to turn it all around
Because I know
I can’t just have my cake and eat it too
‘Cause it’s real easy to stay on the fence and still do you
And it’d be cool if we could love the Lord and still go do our thing
But see it doesn’t work like that
You gotta to be white or black

Lord I really need you to help me
Get it together
Saints, we really gotta
Get it together

And if it’s God that I’m after
I just can’t serve two masters
And before something happens
I got to turn it all around
Because I know
I can’t just have my cake and eat it too, yeah
‘Cause it’s real easy to stay on the fence and still do you
And it’d be cool if we could love the Lord and still go do our thing
But see it doesn’t work like that
You gotta to be white or black

No it don’t work like that
You gotta be white or black

No gray
No shades of gray, no, no, no

I’m nowhere close to a perfect man
And it takes a supernatural to even understand
That beyond the walls behind, the mask and confident smile
Was a broken man trying to grow up and make life worthwhile

And I know there were times that you probably shouldn’t
But I thank you for always lovin’ me
And I know anyone else they probably wouldn’t
So I thank you for always lovin’ me

Now I know there were days I looked at myself
I felt like less of a person compared to everyone else
What about this flaw to big to small, can I exchange?
And trying to make-up for where I fell short, I let sense slip away

And when I look in the mirror and don’t like what I see
Oh, I just thank you for always lovin’ me
And I know I get bad but you wait patiently
I just want to thank you for always lovin’ me

Oh, I just thank you for always lovin’ me
I wanna thank you for always lovin’ me

So you just keep lovin’ me (lovin’ me)
you just keep lovin’ me (lovin’ me)
And you don’t let go, you just keep lovin me (lovin’ me)
I just wanna thank you for always lovin’ me (lovin’ me)

Though I know I don’t have everything that it takes you keep lovin’ me
And regardless of every mistake that I make, you keep lovin’ me
And it probably don’t matter what I do or say, you keep lovin’ me)
And even with the pimples on my face, you keep lovin’ me

I gotta have You
I gotta have You
I gotta have You
I gotta have You
Oh Lord, I gotta have You

I gotta have You
I gotta have You
I gotta have You
I gotta have You
Oh Lord, I gotta have You

See you make me as happy as I can be
Your love is a guarantee in a world of changes
You and I together stay on my mind
You are the truth and the lie
There’s no other way

I gotta have You
I gotta have You
I gotta have You
I gotta have You
Oh Lord, I gotta have You

I gotta have You
I gotta have You
I gotta have You
I gotta have You
Oh Lord, I gotta have You

Look at how You turned my world inside out
I’m lovin’ what You’re about You won my faith cause
Also when You picked my life up again and still became my best friend
Now everyday.

I gotta have You
I gotta have You
I gotta have You
I gotta have You
Oh Lord, I gotta have You

I gotta have You
I gotta have You
I gotta have You
I gotta have You
Oh Lord, I gotta have You

If You take Your love away from me
I don’t know what I would do
Oh no no, no
See there’s a giant whole in my heart that can only be filled by You
Only You

I gotta have You
I gotta have You
I gotta have You
I gotta have You
Oh Lord, I gotta have You

I gotta have You
I gotta have You
I gotta have You
I gotta have You
Oh Lord, I gotta have You

I gotta have You
I gotta have You
I gotta have You
I gotta have You
Oh Lord, I gotta have You
