When It's My Time
Sacred Moments: Embracing Life's Journey through Faith and Redemption
Lyrics
Wash me in water, that flows from your side
Seeking purification and spiritual cleansing through the metaphorical washing in water symbolizing divine grace.
Bathe me in blood, that you gave when you died
Asking to be redeemed and purified through the symbolic act of bathing in the blood shed during the divine sacrifice.
Carry me over, to the other side
Requesting divine guidance and assistance in crossing over to the afterlife or a better spiritual state.
When it's my time lord
Expressing a readiness and acceptance of the inevitable moment of passing away or facing a significant life event.
When it's my time
-But until then, Can you hold my hand?
Seeking companionship and support from the divine during the journey of life.
Don't know what I'm doing
Acknowledging confusion and a lack of understanding in navigating life's challenges.
and I don't understand
-Help me!
Pleading for assistance or guidance from a higher power.
I'm calling your name
Calling out to the divine, seeking a connection or response.
Oh, hold me close and ease my pain
Yearning for comfort and relief from emotional or physical pain through divine presence.
I'm not a saint, but I'm not the worst
Acknowledging personal flaws and imperfections but asserting a moral standing above the worst.
Yes, I'm a sinner. But I'm not the last or the first
Admitting to being a sinner but emphasizing a shared humanity in sin and redemption.
Deep down inside, oh you know that I'm good
Asserting inner goodness and intentions while acknowledging limitations and mistakes.
and I just done the best, done the best that I could
Expressing the effort to do one's best in life despite challenges.
Oh I love you
Declaring love for the divine or a higher power.
Said 'I love you' out loud
Verbally affirming love and devotion to the divine.
And I'm your child
Acknowledging a spiritual connection as a child of the divine.
and that I'm so proud
Expressing pride in the relationship with the divine.
so wrap me up in your holy shroud
Symbolizing a desire to be enveloped in the protective and sacred covering of the divine.
oh take me home, but just don't take me now
Expressing a willingness to go home to the divine but not wanting it to happen immediately.
Wash me in water, that flows from your side
Repeating the desire for spiritual cleansing and purification through divine grace.
and bathe me in blood, that you gave when you died
Reiterating the request for redemption through the symbolic act of bathing in sacrificial blood.
Carry me over, to the other side
Continuing the plea for divine guidance and assistance in transitioning to a better state.
When it's my time, Lord
Repeating the acceptance and readiness for the inevitable moment of passing or facing a significant life event.
When it's my time
-Oh, when it's my time, Lord
Echoing the acknowledgment of the eventual moment of passing or facing a significant life event.
When it's my time
