Allen Thomas - God Thing Lyrics

Wasn't the man you'd want your daughter to marry
My heart was full of lust
Like before Sodom was buried
He gave me a well with running water now it's plenty to drink
So why be gone chasing after waterfalls in the streets?

I don't wanna trade a GOD Thing
For what looks like a GOOD Thing
I don't wanna trade a GOD Thing
For what looks like a GOOD Thing

Tempted with the same thing I used to struggle with
She lookin' at me like Do you want some of this?
I must admit in my past it be no question
Yet something on the inside has me second guessing
Cuz her lips drip honey and the speech is smooth
Only one word away from deceiving you
Reproof meant to keep you
From the thief who's cruel
Secret tease for cheap dues
Will never please a fool
They say On the other side
The grass is greener
You play with fire there's gon' be a mess you have to clean up
It starts with just a little thing
That you thought it did no harm
In your eyes it was no wrong
So inside you hold on
You so gone

I don't wanna trade a GOD Thing
For what looks like a GOOD Thing
I don't wanna trade a GOD Thing
For what looks like a GOOD Thing

Who would wanna trade forever
For just a moment of pleasure?
Some things can only be tested
By being placed under pressure
Aye, you can take your wedding ring and go show it off
It don't mean a thing cuz in your heart, you still know you wrong
Or take a selfie and make your self think that you're so involved
And end up fallin' for that person that's been Photoshopped
Pray to discern don't deny that it's nothin'
See my soul been burned
Like I touched fire on the oven
You can try to hide but it's what's inside that do the talkin'
Cuz sometimes when I'm alone
That pride could get to walkin'
I been guilty of seeing a woman's prize as an object
But the LORD says, Why should you be enticed by the vice of an adulteress? Nah!

I don't wanna trade a GOD Thing
For what looks like a GOOD Thing
I don't wanna trade a GOD Thing
For what looks like a GOOD Thing

I can still remember the day that we made it official
Exchanging vows with the one I love
I became your mister
Don't wanna compromise and do anything sinful
They said Age was the difference but it still ain't an issue!
That don't mean it's all 'happy ever after'
Cuz the enemy don't want us to see
Heaven after
Death
So crucial to close the past on every chapter
If you won't equip yourself
How will you be ready for battle?
We must set an example
Live as an example
So our love will never go out like the wick of a candle
Too many marriages thrown out
Over somethin' that could've been handled
Foundation didn't hold out
Scene turned into a sex scandal
What happened til death do us part?
Sound like we got an intruder up in the heart
We spend our lives tryna find someone to love us back
And if you don't get it right
Then we say that love is wack
Paralyzed and you're in all
Cuz sin is not a sport
You can play to win
But in the end
Never get your reward
Sin will never satisfy your soul
Even thru intercourse
I never knew love
Til the LORD became my inner source
Though there be Temptation
GOD made a way of escape
With no fear When the evil comes
Like an Eagle, He'll bring you strength
To run just like Joseph
There's no reason that you should stay
Fight for what GOD gave
Don't trade for what looks like a Good Thing!

Yeah, I thank You JESUS for my wife!
