[Verse 1]
Sweep me away from my debate
Your love will set me free
He makes the flowers bow and bend
And the sparrows sing

[Verse 2]
Keep me in exile here on Earth
Make me wonder why
I will live in sorrow
Till the day I die

[Verse 3]
I had no song to sing at all (Ooh, ooh)
Till He left this world (Ooh-ooh-ooh)
Though I am showered in despair (Ooh, ooh)
I am filled with hope (Ooh-ooh-ooh)

[Verse 4]
Death has touched me once again (Ooh, ooh)
And buried in the ground (Ooh-ooh-ooh)
He is the man I love the most (Ooh, ooh)
I'll see Him when I get home (Ooh-ooh-ooh)

[Verse 5]
I'll sing a ballad for the gloom
Of this wretched life
I claim no glory in my tune
We're all born to die

[Verse 6]
Take the honey from my cup
Let Thy will be done (Ooh, ooh)
Hang me from the gallows (Ooh, ooh)
Till Thy Kingdom come (Ooh, ooh)

[Outro]
Hang me from the gallows (Ooh, ooh)
Till Thy Kingdom come (Ooh, ooh)
