I Lack Courage
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Swing low, sweet chariot
Come on, to carry me home
At the wake
I woke to find myself
all alone, there was no one around.
And I'm shy
it's just the way that I am.
It's just God thinking I could have a little more to do without.
And I love
Well it's just all that I know.
And I will die loving you.
The darkened skies and Christmas lights,
Jesus save me from myself.
I'm a wreck without you here.
Give me courage beacuse it's what I lack
and I lack courage
Whooah like a heart attack.
This alcohol, well it won't dull the pain.
And now you're gone
theres just nothing I can do.
There's a train
at the station tonight and It'll take me wherever I want to go.
Three of my grandpas are still alive
and I hope they know,
well I forget to write them letters
but I'm always thinking of them so,
and I ask forgiveness, for all those I've done wrong.
Redemption's slow, but it's the only way to go.
The darkened skies and Christmas lights,
Jesus save me from myself.
I'm a wreck without you here
Give me courage because it's what I lack,
and I lack courage.
Whooah like a heart attack.
Swing low, sweet chariot
