Verse 1:
If this river be my death bed,
Made by the madness of this man,
And my words to him be thank you,
Would the heavens understand?
All my life Iâve been a good girl,
Every night Iâve said my prayers
And I hope that Jesus heard me
Through all my tears.
Here's my angels come to take me.
They are haloed in the light,
But I wish theyâd touch me softly,
Theyâre aggressive and theyâre uptight.
Chorus:
Lift me gently
Or leave me where I am.
I thought youâd be the hand of god.
But youâre just the same as him.
Lift me gently.
Please not with human touch.
Christ knows Iâve had my share alive.
And it never felt like love
Verse 2:
So Iâm face down in this river
And my body is cold and useless
And the angels pull at my soul
But it's anxious and it's nervous
And they tell me,
âYouâre not the only one who waits for their delivery,
And youâre worldâs too full of lonely souls.
And weâre rushed off our feetâ,
But I say, please.
Chorus:
Lift me gently.
Or leave me where I am.
I thought youâd be the hand of god.
But youâre just the same as him.
Lift me gently.
Please not with human touch.
Christ knows Iâve had my share alive
And it never felt like love
Lift me gently (x2)
