David wrote Psalm 56 “To the tune of “A Dove on Distant Oaks” So, for a Sunday treat, inspired by my recent tour of Motown, here is a devotional adaptation of “Ain’t Too Proud to Beg” by the Temptations. You can pop on the Tempts and praise the Lord.
Verse 1
I know that You won’t leave me,
That You refuse to let me go,
I don’t have to beg or plead for Your sympathy,
‘Cause I know that I mean that much to You.
Chorus
I don’t have to beg, ’cause I know that,
You won’t leave me, Lord (You won’t go)
I don’t have to plead, “Jesus, Jesus,”
You won’t leave me Lord (You won’t go)
Verse 2
Now some say a cryin’ man is half a man,
With no sense of pride,
But how You move my heart breaks me,
I don’t mind weepin’ ‘cause I know I’m by Your side.
Chorus
I don’t have to beg, cause I know that,
You won’t leave me, Lord (You won’t go)
I don’t have to plead, “Jesus, Jesus,”
You won’t leave me Lord (You won’t go)
Verse 3
If I have to sit with Your promise all night and day,
Just to believe You won’t walk away,
Let the world mock, even this I can stand,
‘Cause I’ll take Your nearness any way I can.
Chorus
I don’t have to beg, ’cause I know that,
You won’t leave me, Lord (You won’t go)
I don’t have to plead, “Jesus, Jesus,”
You won’t leave me Lord (You won’t go)
Verse 4
Now I’ve got a faith so deep in the well of my heart,
And each day it grows more and more.
It’s the seed that breaks through the hardest ground,
And the light I’m leaning toward.
Chorus
I don’t have to beg, ’cause I know that,
You won’t leave me, Lord (You won’t go)
I don’t have to plead, “Jesus, Jesus,”
You won’t leave me Lord (You won’t go)
