Lord Don't Forsake Me
Alison Krauss (And Union Station) · Other Songs - Alison Krauss (And Union Station)
This is your child, I'm tired and sore
Oh my Lord, can you hear me?
I need your love; my soul is poor
I can hear, the angels singing
I can see those pearly gates
Oh my Lord, can you hear me?
I need a place where I can rest
Oh my Lord, I can't remember
When I first said, "Come in my life,"
For I have lived my life in darkness,
My whole world is filled with strife
I can hear, the angels singing
I can see those pearly gates
Oh my Lord, can you hear me?
I need a place where I can rest
I can hear, the angels singing
I can see those pearly gates
Oh my Lord, can you hear me?
I need a place where I can rest
Oh my Lord, can you hear me?
I need a place where I can rest.
