"T-Bone" Burnett
When It’s My Time
Wash me in water, that flows from your side
Bathe me in blood that, that you gave when you died
Carry me over, to the other side
When it's my time, Lord
When it's my time
But until then, can you hold my hand?
Don't know what I'm doing
And I don't understand
Help me!
I'm calling your name
Oh, hold me close, and ease my pain
Life is hard, and love's the same
Know when I hide, from my guilt and the shame
So could I just lay my head, upon your breast?
Oh, but don't let me die, no no, just let me rest
[Interlude]
I'm not a saint, but I'm not the worst
Oh yes, I'm a sinner, but I'm not the last nor the first
Deep down inside, oh you know that I'm good
And I've just done the best, Lord, done the best that I could
Oh, I love you, yeah
Said 'I love you' aloud
Oh, I'm your child, Lord
And of that I'm so proud
So wrap me up, in your holy shroud
Take me home, oh
But just don't take me now
Wash me in water, that flows from your side
And bathe me in blood, that you gave when you died
Carry me over, to the other side
When it's my time, Lord
When it's my time
Oh, when it's my time, Lord
When it's my time
Mmm-hm-hm-hmm
