God Forbid

The more I know your power, lord

The more I'm mindful

How casually we speak and sing your name

How often we have come to you

With no fear or wonder

And called upon you only for what we stand to gain

God forbid, that I find you so familiar

That I think of you as less than who you are

God forbid, that I should speak of you at all

Without a humble reverence in my heart

God forbid

Lord, I often talk about your love and mercy

How it seems to me your goodness has no end

It frightens me to think that I could take you for granted

Though you're closer than a brother

You're more than just a friend

God forbid, that I find you so familiar

That I think of you as less than who you are

God forbid, that I should speak of you at all

Without a humble reverence in my heart

God forbid

You are father, God almighty

Lord of lords, your king of kings

Beyond my understanding

No less than everything

God forbid, that I find you so familiar

That I think of you as less than who you are

God forbid, that I should speak of you at all

Without a humble reverence in my heart

God forbid

God forbid

God forbid
