Lift Me Gently-Charlie Winston

[00:09.08]If this river be my death bed, [00:13.64] [00:18.33]And my words to him be thank you, [00:23.51]Would the heavens understand? [00:26.89]All my life I’ve been a good girl, [00:31.39]Every night I’ve said my prayers [00:35.95]And I hope that Jesus heard me [00:41.20]Through all my tears. [00:46.33]Hears my angels come to take me. [00:50.07]They are haloed in the light, [00:55.89]But I wish they’d touch me softly, [01:00.13]They’re aggressive and they’re uptight. [01:06.51]Lift me gently [01:10.89]Or leave me where I am. [01:16.14]I thought you’d be the hand of God. [01:20.70]But you’re just the same as Him. [01:24.39]Lift me gently. [01:29.56]Please not with human touch. [01:33.18]Christ knows I’ve had my share alive. [01:37.87]And it never felt like love [01:48.31]So I’m face down in this river [01:52.75]And my body’s cold and useless [01:56.99]And the angels pull at my soul [02:01.50]But it's anxious and it's nervous [02:05.44]And they tell me, [02:06.93]“You’re not the only one who waits for their delivery, [02:15.62]And you’re world’s too full of lonely souls. [02:20.12]And we’re rushed off our feet”, [02:25.16]But I say, please.. [02:30.73]Lift me gently. [02:35.02]Or leave me where I am. [02:39.27]I thought you’d be the hand of God. [02:44.02]But you’re just the same as Him. [02:48.14]Lift me gently. [02:52.40]Please not with human touch. [02:56.96]Christ knows I’ve had my share alive [03:01.27]And it never felt like love [03:18.14]Lift me gently [03:21.14]Lift me gently
