John Van Deusen Oh Sweetest Name Lyrics

[Verse 1]
And free me, break me
Fill me up with all Your holy water
'Cause I'm driving drunk in the night with one headlight
And bow down, low down
Pledge yourself and all your sons and daughters
'Cause we're vying for a throne without a prayer or a birthright

[Chorus]
Oh, sweetest Name
Is this really who I am?
Do I need Your love like a gun needs a hand?
[Post-Chorus]
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh

[Verse 2]
And I've been reading
Preparing my world for a reduction
And it's strange how the other sheep sleep in their own blood
And see, I've been changing Subtle as a cliff on a coastline
Maybe there is a God, she's working on my insides
And maybe there is a God, shе's working on my insides

[Chorus]
And oh, sweetest Name
Is this rеally who I am?
Do I need Your love like a gun needs a hand?
And oh, Love of life
Is this really where I stand?
Do I need Your love like an altar needs a lamb?

[Post-Chorus]
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh

[Outro]
And free me, break me
Fill me up with all Your holy water
'Cause I'm driving drunk in the night with one headlight
