The BlueHearts: Music
God's Watchman
(The Blue Hearts: Album Dark Side Of Town)
They found me guilty in a hundred degrees
Now I’m in chains with no release
You turned a blind eye to all my deeds
But you kept a safe watch over me
I heard your calling and heard it plain
And all my life was in your name
The callous, the deviants and the profane
I sent them straight to you
Hey now jailer rattle your keys
I hear the one that’s going to set me free
I’ll sit in your chair so comfortably
That I’ll never want to move
I need a sign that I am forgiven
Otherwise there’s no sense in living
In every prayer and in every hymn
Am I forgiven for my sin?
I ‘m asking Lord, what have I done,
I heard your words, every one,
I was doing the work that you should have done
So why be hard on me
Put my heart into your scales
Balance it against my failings
All I am is come from you
Now at last I know I’m ready
I can feel your power surging
I can feel my soul is yearning
To be released from this heavy burden
Only to be with you
Take now me to your right side
Let me receive your great insight
Let me ascend into your light
For all eternity
