Hmmm... Yeah! [Verse 1 - soft, storytelling vocal with acoustic guitar + light piano, classic country-gospel tone] Mama read the Good Book, tried to set me right, But I chased the devil nearly every night. I broke a few commandments, Lord, more than a few, Never thought salvation would come through you. [Verse 2 - warm vocal lift, steel guitar swells, modern country ballad style] Then you came along with a grace I don’t deserve Every touch of your hand feels like a gospel verse. I ain’t been a saint, but one thing I know is true, The closest I’m gettin’ to Heaven is lovin’ you. [Chorus - big and anthemic, full band with drums, electric guitar, harmony vocals, country arena ballad style] I’ve stumbled through the Ten, broke more than a few, But the Eleventh Commandment is simply lovin’ you. [Bridge - stripped back at first, near-spoken delivery, then builds with gospel choir harmonies] When I meet St. Peter at those gates of gold, I’ll own up to every story my sins have told. But I’ll stand on the promise I made with you- Surely Heaven can’t say no to a love so true [Verse 3 - emotional lift, richer instrumentation, steady country groove with soaring vocal] Thank God you came along, mercy I don’t deserve, Every touch of your hand still sings a gospel verse. I ain’t been a saint, but one thing I know is true, I just might reach Heaven because of you. [Final Chorus - full band and gospel choir, arms-wide, arena-country anthem style] I’ve stumbled through the Ten, broke more than a few, But the Eleventh Commandment is simply lovin’ you. If the good Lord keeps countin’, I’m countin’ on you, Oh… I pray He counts the Eleventh too! [Tag/Outro - gospel choir echoes softly, fade out with steel guitar and piano] Oh… I pray He counts the Eleventh too!
