FAWM 2020 #16: Heaven Help Me

Lent, wilderness, alienation....

Lyrics

Verse
Wandering so far from my place,
Wondering if I’ve lost the memory of your face,
Weary of the silence of the absence of grace

Chorus
Heaven help a sinner. Heaven help … me. (2x)

Verse
Stumbling, stomach empty with need.
Slumbering, nearly dead on my feet.
Stammering the words of a half-forgotten creed:

(repeat chorus)

Bridge
I’ve been alone, for so long in this desert.
Must I atone, or just eat my … just desserts?

Verse
Heaven’s such a long way away.
Heavy is the load I bear today.
No haven for a traveler to stay.

(repeat chorus)
