Lord don't be vengeful I always tried my best You won't see my face in church Since you lain my bones to rest You came and took me from her The reason don't know why I went and left my sweet sweet rose When you laid me down to die Now I kneel before you Just begging for a sign Let me see my sweet sweet rose Now she's no longer mine I'm sitting here beside you On your left or maybe right Let her see me shining Let me be her guiding light Now my life is over I tried to do my best I beg you there my dear sweet lord Help my rose to finally rest Lord don't be vengeful I always tried my best You won't see my face in church Since you lain my bones to rest
