Sermon lyrics

[James Arthur:]

You don't have to say you're sorry

Or redeem yourself to me, oh

I'm not asking for confessions

You don't even have to speak, no

I need you to feel that you're more than enough

I already know you're deserving of love

It's not a question that you are the one that I need

These are my words

This is my voice

That is my sermon

Give me your heart

Give me your pain

Give me your burden

'Cause I can take anything that you can give

Forgiving everything that you did

These are my words

This is my voice

That is my sermon

My sermon, yeah, yeah, yeah

My sermon, yeah, yeah, yeah

My sermon, yeah, yeah, yeah

My sermon, yeah, yeah, yeah

Oh, time to turn this wine to water, yeah

Time to turn this gold to lead, oh

Time to stop taking this for granted, oh

Gotta keep my family fed, for life

I need you to feel that you're more than enough

I already know you're deserving of love

It's not a question that you are the one that I need

These are my words

This is my voice

That is my sermon

Give me your heart

Give me your pain

Give me your burden

'Cause I can take anything that you can give

Forgiving everything that you did

These are my words

This is my voice

That is my sermon

My sermon, yeah, yeah, yeah

My sermon, yeah, yeah, yeah

My sermon, yeah, yeah, yeah

My sermon, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

[Shotty Horroh:]

I don't know nothing about the service the clergy do in the churches

I never read the book though I knew the pages were turning

I tried to sing the hymns but I couldn't think of the verses

Tried to confess my sins, but I didn't know how to word it

But this is my sermon, firstly I'm emotionally drained

Self-medicating hoping I can cope with the pain

I need a fix 'cause that'll fix whatever's broke in my brain

Who am I kidding, no I'm going insane

I wrote some quotes on this page, just trying to reach you in a hope you were late

Well, I'll probably just throw them away

'Cause I don't know what to say

I feel weak when I'm supposed to be brave

I seem free but I'm enclosed in a cage

Though I continue to ponder over the plastic

And I ain't gonna do any better

Do I whimper from the future, and buckle under the pressure

Or do I step to the plate, and go take the chance with my life

Come face to face with the darkness so I can stand in the light like

[James Arthur:]

When I feel your love upon me

I know I am truly blessed

Sometimes we've gotta face the darkness

Just lead me to the light again

These are my words

My voice

That is my sermon

Give me your heart

Give me your pain

Give me your burden

'Cause I can take anything that you can give

Forgiving everything that you did

These are my words

This is my voice

That is my sermon

My sermon, yeah, yeah, yeah

My sermon, yeah, yeah, yeah

My sermon, yeah, yeah, yeah

My sermon, yeah, yeah, yeah

My sermon, yeah, yeah, yeah

My sermon, yeah, yeah, yeah

My sermon, yeah, yeah, yeah

My sermon, yeah, yeah, yeah

That is my sermon
