Lyrics

(Ferry)

Try on your love
Like a new dress
The fit and the cut
Your friends to impress
Try on your smile -
Square on your face
Showing affection
Should be no disgrace
Try out your god
Hope he will send
Kindness from strangers
On whom you depend
Try on his coat
A mantle most fine
Myriad colours
His harmony-thine
Believe in me
Once seemed a good line
Now belief in jesus
Is faith more sublime
Head in the clouds
But I can´t see the lord
Short of perfection
I´ll try to be good
I´ll stand at his gate
I´ll wait for his sign
Then i´ll walk in his garden
When it´s my time
Drink from his cup
Hush now don´t you cry
His quiet waters
Will never, never run dry
Nearing death´s vale
He´s here by my side
He leads me to paradise
A mountain so high

Don´t be afraid
Just treasure his word
Singing his praises
I know that i´ll be heard
He´s gonna take you by the hand
He´s gonna make you feel so good
Open up your eyes
And then you´ll see all that you should
Forget all your troubles
You will feel no pain
He´s all that you need
He´s your everything
When i´m feeling all at sea
Deliverance is that distant shore
I will not be worried
Someday his house will be my home
For ever more
