Spread Lyrics

Father -oh Father
On bended knees I bow my head
And if you're lookin real close You'll see a man in need of Mercy
And a helping hand with the daily bread
Oh Father -Heavenly Father
I don't know why they want to let me go
See the wife and kids think this old ship will never sink
And I don't have the heart to let them know -ohh, ohh, ohh
I don't have the heart to let them know

Father , Precious Father
For twenty-five years I've towed the line
Now it seems up ahead -there's a storm could waiting
And it's gonna take a bit more to make it through this time

CHORUS
Oh Spread -Your Wings of Mercy
Spread -Your Joy Devine
Ohh Spread -Your arms all around me
And carry me through one more time
Ohh, Ohh, Ohh
Carry me through one more time

Father,
Where would I be if it wasn't for You
You see I've come this far trying to get where You are
And I'm depending on You Lord to see me through
Father, Heavenly Father
I know You hear every Prayer
So I'll wait patiently til You get round to me
Cause theres more than a few drowning in the sea of despair

CHORUS
Oh Spread -Your wings of Mercy
Spread -Your joy devine
Ohh Spread -Your arms all around me
And carry me through one more time

BRIDGE
The sun don't shine without a Miracle
And as sure as I can see
I'm gonna stay right here
I ain't goin nowhere
Til You shine down on me
Ohh Father, Ohh Father
I know You hear every Prayer
So I'll wait patiently til You get round to me
Cause theres a whole lot of folks - A whole lot of folks drowning

CHORUS
Oh Spread -Your wings of Mercy
Spread -Your joy devine
Ohh Spread -Your arms all around me
And carry me through one more time

Oh Spread -Your wings of Mercy
Spread -Your joy devine
Ohh Spread -Your arms all around me
And carry me through one more time

Ohh, Ohh, Ohh, Ohh
Carry me through one more time
