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
Oh, when it's my time, Lord
When it's my time
