Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Wash me in water
That flows from Your side
Bathe me in blood that
That You gave when You died
[Verse 2]
Carry me over
To the other side
When it's my time, Lord
When it's my time
[Verse 3]
But until then
Can You hold my hand?
Don't know what I'm doing
And I don't understand
[Verse 4]
Help me
I'm calling Your name
Oh, hold me close
And ease my pain
[Verse 5]
Life is hard
And love's the same
Nowhere to hide
From my guilt and my shame
[Verse 6]
So, could I just lay my head
Upon Your breast?
Oh, but don't let me die, no, no
Just let me rest
[Verse 7]
I'm not a saint
But I'm not the worst
Oh, yes, I'm a sinner
But I'm not the last nor the first
[Verse 8]
Deep down inside
Oh, You know that I'm good
And I've just done the best, Lord
Done the best that I could
[Verse 9]
Oh, I love You, yeah
Said, I love You, out loud
I'm Your child, Lord
And of that, I'm so proud, yeah
[Verse 10]
So, wrap me up
In Your holy swath
Take me home
But just don't take me high
[Verse 11]
Wash me in water
That flows from Your side
And bathe me in blood
That You gave when You died
[Verse 12]
Carry me over
To the other side
When it's my time, Lord
When it's my time
When it's my time, Lord
When it's my time
Mmm
