Heaven Hate

(Heavy, dramatic organ intro with a choir hum) (Verse 1) Heaven hates, oh Heaven hates, The darkness creeping through the gates, Heaven hates, oh Heaven hates, The wicked whispers and their fates. They come around just after eight, With hungry eyes and hearts that wait, They cry of faith, a hollow state, And empty plates, upon their plate. They seek a muse, a twisted fake, Their holy words, they start to break, They lose their way, for goodness sake, The lost shepherded, for darkness’ sake. (Chorus - Strong, powerful vocals with choir backing) Might as well put your hands together! Put 'em together, oh come on brother! Put 'em together, yeah, all together! I got joy in my soul, light as a feather! God is in control, through stormy weather! I got Satan on my trail, yes, altogether! But I’m singing all is well, forever and ever! He's attacking every day, whatever, whenever! But I'm watching while I pray, with all endeavor! No matter the attack, I will endeavor! I won't turn back, never, no never! 'Cause this means war! (War vocals - layered and echoing) This means (this means war!) This means (this means war!) This means (this means war!) (Chorus - Strong, powerful vocals with choir backing) Put your hands together! Put 'em together, oh come on sister! Put 'em together, yeah, all together! I got joy in my soul, light as a feather! God is in control, through stormy weather! I got Satan on my trail, yes, altogether! But I’m singing all is well, forever and ever! He's attacking every day, whatever, whenever! But I'm watching while I pray, with all endeavor! No matter the attack, I will endeavor! I won't turn back, never, no never! 'Cause this means war! (War vocals - layered and echoing) This means (this means war!) This means (this means war!) This means (this means war!) (Bridge - Building intensity, more personal and fervent) I plead the blood, yes, I plead it now! (I plead, I plead the blood!) Before I bow! There's power in the blood, I avow! (I plead, I plead the blood!) Hear me now! Healing in the blood, take a vow! (I plead, I plead the blood!) Right here and how! Power in the blood, allow! (I plead, I plead the blood!) Break every sough! (Verse 2 - Reflective but still powerful) I've been in the storm and the rain, Felt the heartache, and the pain, But the blood of Jesus still remains the same, A cleansing fire, a holy flame. Whatever is going wrong, it's all the same, My war clothes are on, in Jesus name, I might be in a daze, in this earthly game, But you can't have my praise, you devil, you’re to blame! No matter the attack, the burning flame, I won't turn back, it's not in my frame, My faith is intact, not feeling shame, For Heaven's victory, I loudly proclaim! (Outro - Choir and vocalist powerfully repeating and fading out) As they brawl and fight in earthly strife, For gold and silver, in this fleeting life, But lay your treasures up, where there's endless life, In Heaven's glory, escaping all the strife. For where your heart is set, your soul will reside, In earthly gain, or Heaven’s tide, Choose wisely now, let Jesus be your guide, Heaven awaits, with doors open wide… (Choir repeats and fades) Heaven waits… Heaven waits… Heaven… waits… (fades out with organ sustained chord)
