De La Croix

lyrics

I’m my papa’s grandson, I’m my father’s boy,
I’m my mother’s child and my Lord’s Joy.
He wants me back, me to follow.
Pray for me strength de la croix

Well, I was struck down stranded, on deserted trails.
Dirty damned and locked in jails,
Bars they clang and the winds they blow.
Pray for me wisdom, I to know.

Well, I made my bed once, and it stayed made.
I fashioned comfort, but I never laid.
It haunts me daily, the things I’ve done.
Pray that I shall forget, even only one...Chorus

Well my mind it wanders, and my heart holds back
My body sleeps and the fear attacks
And when I’m ridden with the world's turmoil
Pray forgiveness and the Lord’s joy...Chorus
