NOAH DERKSEN

AN OFFERING

Oh Lord, here I stand 
Oh Lord, with these fragile hands 
Oh Lord, will the stars ever align 
My soul’s escaping and I am awakened 
Oh Lord, just take this offering 
It’s all I have to bring, please end this suffering 
Oh Lord, this is what I give to you 
It is my decree to let the angels sing 
  
Oh Lord, just go on and kill me 
Oh Lord, just go on and kill me if you can 
Oh Lord, well is that even up to you 
Now I’m forsaken or just mistaken 
Oh Lord, I forgive you 
For all the wrong you do and all you have put me through 
Oh Lord, it was not I that did create the sin I’m forced to make 
But your will be done, and so on earth we hum 
  
Where are you now — I’m in need of saving 
Where are you now — the tomb is vacant 
Oh Lord, oh Lord 
Oh Lord, oh Lord 
  
Oh Lord, my hands are shaking 
Oh Lord, I fear I’m fading 
Oh Lord, are you in the air I breathe 
My soul’s escaping, and I have awakened
