God Went North

  • A hospital bed
    A room filled with flowers
    Every monitor beep keeps the time
    As I count down the hours
    The petals they weep
    They're uprooted like me
    And cut from the cord of their mother
    Who created everything

    If You won't save her
    Please just take her away

    She pulls me close
    Says that she loves me
    That she wishes to still be around
    On the day that I marry
    Tightly she holds
    But the plan still unfolds
    I'm cutting the cord from the mother
    Who gave me everything

    If You won't save her
    Please just take her
    Nothing breaks her away
    From the promise of a better day

    This is your moment of glory (This is your moment of glory, Hallelujah, this is your moment of glory, Hallelujah)
    (Hallelujah, this is your moment of glory, this is your moment of glory, Hallelujah, this is your moment of glory, Hallelujah)

    It may feel like God went north
    And left you to be (Hallelujah)
    But all you need to know
    Is you have everything you need (Hallelujah)
    It's just a blink of an eye
    Until the next time we meet (Hallelujah)
    I'll hold you 'til the end
    I'll hold you 'til you're free

    If You won't save her
    Please just take her
    Nothing breaks her away
    From the promise of a better day

    If You won't save her (I'll hold you 'til the end)
    Please just take her (I'll hold you 'til the end)
    Nothing breaks her away

    I'll hold you 'til the end
    I'll hold you 'til the end
    I'll hold you 'til the end
    I'll hold you 'til the end

    Keep holdin' on
    Keep holdin' on
    Keep holdin' on
    Keep holdin' on
    Keep holdin' on
    Keep holdin' on
    Keep holdin' on
    Keep holdin' on
    Keep holdin' on
    Keep holdin' on
    Keep holdin' on
    Keep holdin' on Writer/s: HAWKINS JONATHAN TAYLOR, HOFFMAN WILL, OLIVER DANIEL, VOLLELUNGA MARK ANTHONY
