I pledge my head to heaven for the gospel,
And I ask no man on earth to fill my needs.
Like the sparrow up above, I am enveloped in his love,
And I trust him like those little ones he feeds.
I pledge my wife to heaven for the gospel
Though our love each passing day just seems to grow.
As I told her when we wed, I'd surely rather be found dead
Than to love her more than the one who saved my soul.
I pledge my son to heaven for the gospel
Though he’s kicked and beaten, ridiculed and scorned.
I will teach him to rejoice, and lift a thankful praising voice,
And to be like him who bore the nails and crown of thorns.
I’m your child, and I want to be in your family forever.
I’m your child, and I’m gonna to follow you
No matter whatever the cost, I’m gonna count all things lost.
I’ve had the chance to gain the world,
And live just like a king,
But without your love, it doesn’t mean a thing.
-Keith Green
