[Verse 1: James Arthur]
You don't have to say you're sorry
Or redeem yourself to me, oh
I'm not asking for confessions
You don't even have to speak, no

[Pre-Chorus: James Arthur]
I need you to feel that you're more than enough
I already know you're deserving of love
There's not a question that you are the one that I need

[Chorus: James Arthur]
These are my words
This is my voice
That is my sermon
Give me your heart
Give me your pain
Give me your burden
'Cause I can take anything that you can give
Forgiving everything that you did
These are my words
This is my voice
That is my sermon
My sermon, yeah, my sermon, yeah
My sermon, yeah, my sermon, yeah
[Verse 2: James Arthur]
Oh, time to turn this wine to water, yeah
Time to turn this gold to lead, oh
Time to stop taking this for granted, oh
Gotta keep my family fed, for life

[Pre-Chorus: James Arthur]
I need you to feel that you're more than enough
I already know you're deserving of love
There's not a question that you are the one I need

[Chorus - James Arthur]
These are my words
This is my voice
That is my sermon
Give me your heart
Give me your pain
Give me your burden
'Cause I can take anything that you can give
Forgiving everything that you did
These are my words
This is my voice
That is my sermon
My sermon, yeah, my sermon, yeah
My sermon, yeah, my sermon, yeah
[Verse 3: Shotty Horroh]
I don't know nothin' about the service
The clergy do in the churches
I never read the book, though I knew the pages were turnin'
I tried to sing the hymns, but I couldn't think of the verses
Tried to confess my sins, but I didn't know how to word it
But this is my sermon, firstly I'm emotionally drained
Self-medicatin', hopin' I can cope with the pain
I need a fix 'cause that'll fix whatever's broke in my brain
Who am I kiddin'? No, I'm goin' insane
I wrote some quotes on this page
Just trying to reach you and I hope you relate
Well, I'll probably just throw them away
'Cause I don't know what to say
I feel weak when I'm supposed to be brave
I seem free, but I'm enclosed in a cage
Do I continue to ponder over the past
Thinkin' I could've done it better?
Do I whimper from the future
And buckle under the pressure?
Or do I step to the plate, and go take the chance with my life
Come face to face with the darkness
So I can stand in the light, like…

[Bridge: James Arthur]
When I feel your love upon me
I know that I am truly blessed
Sometimes you've gotta face the darkness
To step into the light again
[Chorus/Outro]
These are my words
My voice
That is my sermon
Give me your heart
Give me your pain
Give me your burden
'Cause I can take anything that you can give
Forgiving everything that you did
These are my words
This is my voice
That is my sermon
My sermon, yeah, my sermon, yeah
My sermon, yeah, my sermon, yeah
My sermon, yeah, my sermon, yeah
My sermon, yeah, my sermon, yeah
My sermon, yeah, my sermon, yeah
My sermon, yeah, my sermon, yeah
That is my sermon
