Take me Lord and deliver me safe
From when I depart this earthly place
Catch my soul as a mother might a child
Catch my soul as a mother might a child
Even if my leaving is untoward and wild
Not planning am I to from this body fly
Not planning am I to from this body fly
But slip
I might from the path one while
But better yet maybe my head hold straight
So long I can live and make death wait
But better yet maybe my head hold straight
So long I can live and make death wait
