When you've tasted of forgiveness, when you sat under the tree
Nothing else, nothing else, nothing else can set you free
Oh, the magnitude of mercy on the path to Galilee
Nothing else, nothing else, nothing else can set you free
Oh, I see it all around me, I see Heaven at the gates
I see all of your angels running after me
Carry me when I'm holding
On to me, oh, when I'm hopeless
Heaven, help me, make your move
I know you'll see me through
Nice and easy, take control
Teach me as I walk through the strangeness of it all
When your arms are all around me, I can sing a peaceful song
Nothing else, nothing else, nothing else that I want
When your spirit goes before me, when you're with me in storm
Nothing else, nothing else, nothing else that I want
Carry me when I'm holding
On to me, oh, when I'm hopeless
Heaven, help me, make your move
I know you'll see me through
Nice and easy, take control
Teach me as I walk through the strangeness of it all
Strangers walking, stranger places
Pouring out into the reservoirs
Famous angels and famous faces
Lining up, don't wanna hurt no more
Carry me when I'm holding
On to me, oh, when I'm hopeless
Heaven help me, make your move
I know you'll see me through
Nice and easy, take control
Teach me as I walk through the strangeness of it all
