DEAR LORD (Lynott/Gorham) 3.11


DEAR LORD

Dear lord, this is a prayer
Just let me know if you're really there
Dear lord, come gain control
Oh lord, come save my soul

Give me dignity restore my sanity
Oh lord, come rescue me
Dear lord, my vanity
Oh lord, it's killing me, killing me

If you give your soul to heaven
And your soul begins to bleed
Remember how the seven
Don't turn up when you need
If you do believe in glory
Then please believe a fact
If you give your soul to heaven
You won't get it back

I'm down deep and I need your help
There's no one to turn to and I can't help myself
Dear lord hear this call, oh lord save my fall

I'm scared, I doubt
Dear lord, help me out
I despair, my lord, oh, my lord

Dear lord, take the time
I believe your story now you believe mine
Oh Lord, I'm on my knees, oh Lord, please, please beware

My Lord, oh care, my lord
Give me dignity, restore my sanity
My vanity is killing me

If you give your soul to Heaven and your soul begins to bleed
Remember how the sevens won't turn up when you need
If you do believe in glory then please believe in fact
If you give your soul to Heaven
You won't get it back

If you give your soul to Heaven and your soul begins to bleed
Remember how the sevens won't turn up when you need
If you do believe in glory then please believe in fact
If you give your soul to Heaven
You won't get it back

If you give your soul to Heaven and your soul begins to bleed
Remember how the sevens won't turn up when you need
If you do believe in glory then please believe in fact
If you give your soul to Heaven
You won't get it back
