Please, keep your love away from me

Jesus, keep your hands where I can see

There's nobody here you can trust

Oh I'll break every bone if I must

Oh wisdom, keep your hands away from me



Mercy, turn your eyes away from me 

Truth, shine a light where I can't see

They all practice here to deceive

I'd kill them before I believe

Oh Jesus, keep your love away from me



How far they asked, how far? 

As far north as Elizabeth

Justice, take this sword and cut them down, oh down

Oh Jesus, keep your love away from me



How far they asked, how far? 

As far away as here and now
