Jesus, I [Lyte] / Mary Star of the Sea Songtext
von Zwan

Jesus, i′ve taken my cross
All to leave and follow thee
Jesus, i've taken my cross
All to leave and follow thee

I′m destitute, despised, forsaken
All to leave and follow thee
And follow thee

Man may trouble to distress me
To drive my heart to the cross
Yeah, man may trouble to distress me
To drive this heart to the cross

I'm resolute, reviled, forsaken
All to leave and follow thee
And follow thee


Jesus

So perish every fond ambition
God and trouble are all i've known
Yet how rich is my condition
God and heaven are all my own
God and heaven are all my own

Rooms full of salt
Fault my pluck
And a poets charm so far, ever far
Little stars that burn the holes in my soul

And everything just feels like rain
The road we′re on, the things we crave
And everything just feels like rain
The nights i sleep, what′s left to dream
When everything feels like rain

Drift as i dive
Find the deep
Out of reach of all light
Stars, ever far
Listless tides along the changing shore


And everything just feels like rain
The road we're on, the things we crave
And everything just feels like rain
If i should sleep, what′s left to dream
When everything feels like rain
