"NO COMPROMISE"             

             © 1989 Karen Lucas

Beloved, we were married when you took My name,
I am Your Husband, you're My wife
The love we shared was like a fragrant flower
Blooming sweeter still as time went by.

There was nothing that could keep us two apart,
You promised all your love to Me
Every day began with My name on your lips,
Your face would shine for all to see,
Your face would shine, a light to see.

(Chorus)
There was, No, compromise...No-o-o, compromise
Every day was like brand new as
You met Me in My Word and prayed
I remained above all others
You placed My will, before your own
You placed My will, before your own.

Beloved, I was chosen from the start of time,
I would be the Doorway for the lambs
You were loved and cherished more than life itself,
I chose...to expose, My feet and hands.

I took your sins and placed them all on Me
They pushed the thorns into my brow
I then became the final sacrifice
Endured the cross that final hour,
Endured the cross that final hour.

(Chorus)
There was, No, compromise...No-o-o, compromise
At any time I could have said the word and
Heaven's shield would be My own,
But My love was by example
I placed your life above My own
I placed your life above My own.

Beloved, there is something that has come between us,
Can't you see that sin remains a wall?
The end result is always separation,
The journey back is hard and long.
Because of sin, I suffered agony,

There's not a one that is too small
You choose to crucify your Lord again
You drive a nail each time you fall
You drive a nail, when you choose, to fall

(Chorus)
There must be, No, compromise...No-o-o compromise
Make no mistake; you're to be holy
A living sacrifice-without a spot, unblemished
I am your Husband, you're My wife...Cleave to me,
I am your Husband, you're My wife.
