[Verse 1] A little drift, a little turn, A quiet step away, A heart once full of worship Slowly forgets to pray. The things we once called dangerous Become familiar ground; The idols we once feared to touch Are standing all around. [Pre-Chorus] Before the heart grows hard, Before the fire burns, Before we lose what You have given, Lord, let our hearts return. [Chorus] I will not leave the God I love, I will not trade Your grace. You are my treasure, my inheritance, My refuge and my strength. Though every idol calls my name, Though sin would turn my heart away, I choose Your steadfast love, O God— I will not leave the God I love. [Verse 2] You gave us places to worship, You gave our daily bread; You gave us land and freedom, Yet we turned to gods instead. We wanted all Your blessings But turned away from You; We held on to the gifts You gave And forgot the Giver too. [Pre-Chorus] Before the heart grows hard, Before the fire burns, Before we lose what You have given, Lord, let our hearts return. [Chorus] I will not leave the God I love, I will not trade Your grace. You are my treasure, my inheritance, My refuge and my strength. Though every idol calls my name, Though sin would turn my heart away, I choose Your steadfast love, O God— I will not leave the God I love. [Bridge – Quiet] Search my heart, O God, Show me what I love. Take what steals Your throne, Turn my heart to You. [Bridge – Build] You are my treasure! You are my inheritance! You are my freedom! You are my only God! No other lover, No other treasure, No other master Can satisfy my soul! I will not leave the God I love, I will not trade Your grace. You are my treasure, my inheritance, My refuge and my strength. Though every idol calls my name, Though sin would turn my heart away, I choose Your steadfast love, O God— I will not leave the God I love. [Final Tag – Congregational] You are my treasure! You are my inheritance! You are my freedom! You are my God! I will not leave You. I will not leave You. I will not leave the God I love. [Outro – Soft] Turn my heart, Lord, Turn my heart again. Before I wander farther, Bring me home again. I will not leave the God I love.
