"Sermon" lyrics
"Sermon"
(feat. Shotty Horroh)
[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 fest that I'm emotionally drained
Self-medicating hoping I can cope with the pain
I need a face 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 and I hope you relate
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
Do I continue to ponder over the past
Thinkin' I could've done it better
Do I whimper from the future, and buckle under the pressure
Or do I step to the plate, and gon' 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 you've gotta face the darkness
To step into 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

BANNERS - "Half Light" It makes me feel nervous
You have that look in your eye
Oh, what takes over
What is it that holds you tight?
And you can tear it up
Oh, no-one tears it up like you
Oh, you can rip it up
Oh, no-one...
Tom Walker - "Leave A Light On" The second someone mentioned you were all alone
I could feel the trouble coursing through your veins
Now I know, it's got a hold
Just a phone call left unanswered, had me sparking up
These cigarettes...
AJ Mitchell - "All My Friends" These rooms got a lot of space
Crowded but a lonely place
Sittin' at a table full of double dates
And everywhere I go I wanna see your face
Pictures, I'm reminded
Of good times, how we tried it...
Clinton Kane - "Fix It To Break It" Remember that time I made you laugh?
I would give in to hear that sound again
Missing the lines on both sides of your face
And I hate that that's all I have now
Am I just fixing it, just to break...
Why Don't We - "Grey" I can't even hide it
I haven't stopped thinking 'bout your lips
Mm, your lips, yeah
I'm losing my mind
It's been too long, I'm missing your kiss
Yeah, your kiss You
You've been there through it all...
