Vince Gill & Time Jumpers
This song was written by Gill, his wife Amy Grant, Dillon O'Brien, and Will Owsley about the loss of a loved one. This song developed more meaning within a few months after they wrote it, as it was the last song Will Owsley would ever write before his suicide on April 30, 2010.

[Verse 1:]
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 find, all in good time
[Chorus:]
What's the worst thing that can happen
If they say my time is through
Can they take away the love
Or they years I've shared with you
What's the worst thing that can happen
That'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
[Verse 2:]
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
If by chance a miracle appears, I'll dry your tears
[Chorus]
[Outro:]
What's the worst thing that can happen
What's the worst that they can do
Threaten me with Heaven, that's all they can do
Threaten me with Heaven, ooh, I'll be waiting on you
Threaten me with Heaven[x3]
Threaten Me With Heaven was written by Dillon O’Brian & Vince Gill & Will Owsley & Amy Grant.
