MP3 recording sung by 9 year old Adessa

Only a Heartbeat

He tripped on his words, fell on his face
Said the absurd, was out there in space
He let down his guard
He fell so very hard
It was only a heartbeat from the blessing to the curse
Between his best to his worst

The devil is trying to wrestle him down
Throwing his heart in the lost and found
He reached for his mouth
As the words were coming out
It was only a heartbeat from the blessing to the curse
It only took a few words

Where do we go from here
We're looking ahead but it's not very clear
It's hard to see when you're looking through the tears
It was only a heartbeat from the blessing to the curse
It only took a few words

Mary was crying on Calvary
Her son was dying to set us free
On the cross beside him
A criminal believed
It was only a heartbeat from the curse to being blessed
Help us Jesus to make it through this test
We trust you know what is best
