Judge said, "You're just a young man, son,
but I can't forget what you've done.
You've chosen the life of a thug,
and killed somebody for a drug.
You will spend your life in a cell,
until you face Satan in hell."
I hung down my head in prayer.
"Lord, please listen if you're up there.
I am willing to make you a deal
I will never lie, cheat, or kill.
or commit any other crime,
if you will help me out this time."
Dad said, "son, you don't understand.
Reach out with your heart, not your hand
God doesn't need to make this deal,
when he can bend you to his will.
God knows just what you need to live.
So don't ask for things . . . just give"
My knees hit the floor of my cell.
Dad's letter said, "your mom isn't well."
"God, I will make you one last deal,
and live according to your will,
if you will take away these tears,
and give momma, a few more years."
Priest said, "son, you don't understand."
Reach out with your heart, not your hand.
God doesn't need to make this deal,
when he can bend you to his will.
God knows just what you need to live.
So don't ask for things . . . just give"
God still took my momma away,
and I cursed my Saviour that day.
I swore I'd never pray again,
and vowed to live my life in sin.
My soul remained Satan's to burn.
God was no longer my concern.
Five years later I had a dream,
and I heard my momma's voice scream.
"Son, its time that you understand.
Reach out with your heart, not your hand.
God knows just what you need to live,
So, don't ask for things . . . just give"
I fell down on my knees again,
and this time I gave him my sin.
"God , I finally understand,
and I give my heart, not my hand.
I will not ask for things . . . I'll give
And for you my life I will live."
I know that God listens and heals,
and I know that God doesn't make deals.
Reach with your hearts and not your hands,
God hears you and he understands.
He knows just what you need to live,
So, don't ask for things . . . just give
