Wash me in water,
That flows from your side.
Bathe me in blood, that you gave when you died.
Carry me over, to the other side.
When it's my time, Lord.
When it's my time.
But until then,
Can you hold my hand?
Don't know what I'm doing,
And I don't understand.
Help me! I'm calling your name.
Oh, hold me close and ease my pain.
Life is hard and love's the same.
You know when I hide
From my guilt and my shame.
So could I just lay my head,
Upon your breast.
Oh Lord, don't let me die, no no
Just let me rest.
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.
Deep down inside,
Oh you know that I'm good.
And I've just done the best, Lord,
Done the best that I could.
Oh I love you, yeah.
Said «I love you» out loud.
I'm your child, Lord.
And of that I'm so proud, yeah.
So wrap me up in your holy shroud
Take me home, but just don't take me now.
Wash me in water,
That flows from your side.
And bathe me in blood, that you gave when you died.
Carry me over, to the other side.
When it's my time, Lord.
When it's my time.
