Introduction
“Threaten Me With Heaven” is one of those songs that feels like a warm embrace on a cold day. Vince Gill, with his signature blend of tenderness and strength, delivers a message that’s both comforting and profound. This song, wrapped in the soft tones of Gill’s voice, carries a deep emotional weight, one that speaks to the inevitability of life’s challenges and the peace that comes with faith.
Listening to this song is like having a heartfelt conversation with an old friend who knows exactly what you need to hear. The lyrics, co-written by Gill along with his wife Amy Grant, Dillon O’Brian, and Will Owsley, were born out of a moment of deep reflection and love. There’s a purity in the message, a reassurance that no matter what life throws at us, there’s a promise of something better waiting on the other side.
When Vince sings, “What’s the worst thing that could happen? If they say my time is through, can they take away the love, or the years I’ve shared with you?” you can’t help but feel a lump in your throat. It’s a song that doesn’t shy away from the reality of mortality, but instead, embraces it with a quiet grace. The melody is soothing, yet powerful, and it lingers long after the last note fades.
“Threaten Me With Heaven” isn’t just a song; it’s a gentle reminder of the strength we can find in faith and love. It’s the kind of track that makes you want to hold your loved ones a little closer and appreciate the moments you share. It’s a beautiful piece of music that touches the soul, reminding us that sometimes, the things we fear the most can also bring us the greatest peace.

Lyrics
I can see the tears upon your face
No hiding place
And you’re afraid that soon I will be gone
But time will still go on
You’re searching for the answers you can’t find
All in good time
What’s the worst thing that could happen?
If they say my time is through
Can they take away the love
Or the years I’ve shared with you?
What’s the worst thing that could happen?
What’s the worst that they can do?
Threaten me with Heaven
It’s all they can do
Threaten me with Heaven
If they want to
Threaten me with Heaven
I believe that it’s true
Threaten me with Heaven
I’ll be waiting on you
I hear angels through the window pane
Calling my name
Someday when they carve my name in stone
I won’t be, I won’t be alone
And if by chance a miracle appears
I’ll dry your tears
What’s the worst thing that could happen
If they say my time is through?
Can they take away the love
Or the years I’ve shared with you?
What’s the worst thing that could happen?
What’s the worst that they can do?
Threaten me with Heaven
It’s all they can do
Threaten me with Heaven
If they want to
Threaten me with Heaven
I believe that it’s true
Threaten me with Heaven
I’ll be waiting on you
What’s the worst thing that could happen?
What’s the worst that they can do?
Threaten me with Heaven
It’s all they can do
Threaten me with Heaven
If they want to
Threaten me with Heaven
I believe, I believe that it’s true
Threaten me with Heaven
Oh, I’ll be waiting on you
Yes, I will for you
Threaten me with Heaven
Threaten me with Heaven
Threaten me with Heaven
Go on, go on
Threaten me with Heaven
Threaten me with Heaven, yeah
Threaten me with Heaven
It’s all you got, all they can do
Threaten me with Heaven
Threaten me with Heaven
Threaten me with Heaven
Threaten me with Heaven
Threaten me with Heaven
Threaten me with Heaven
Threaten me with Heaven
