If I’m Gonna Have

If I’m gonna have a God, I want the biggest and the best;
If I’m gonna risk believing then I want better than the rest.
If I’m gonna study Heaven, if I’m gonna walk the way -
I don’t want a God that ever sleeps but walks with me night and day!

If I’m gonna have a Savior, then I’ll take One that can’t be beat,
Not by Satan, nor by wind and waves, even death will give release;
If I’m gonna love a Savior then I want One who loves me true
And would never ever leave me like some folks on earth would do.

If I’m gonna have a Spirit, let it be for good alone,
Let His holiness inspire me and His gentleness be known,
Let Him woo me to be holy till I’ve born like Him above;
The love of God to those around me - an ocean full of love!

Now, there might not be a Heaven tho I feel it in my bones -
There might not be a God above who loves for love alone -
But if there is, dear friend of mine, I will not be ashamed,
Meanwhile, I’ll be proud that Christian is my name!
