Oh my Lord, please don't forsake me This is your child, I'm tired and sore Oh my Lord, can you hear me I need your love, my soul is poor I can hear the angels singing I can see those pearly gates Oh my Lord, can you hear me I need a place where I can rest Oh my Lord, I can't remember When I first said, "Come in my life" For I have lived my life in darkness My whole world is filled with strife I can hear the angels singing I can see those pearly gates Oh my Lord, can you hear me I need a place where I can rest I can hear the angels singing I can see those pearly gates Oh my Lord, can you hear me I need a place where I can rest Oh my Lord, can you hear me I need a place where I can rest
