Oh, I don't know why I continue in this sty
Oh, it seems that life's too long to last
And the devil's cry, it fills my soul with the fear on high
And I pray that this might all just pass
And eternity's too long to be for an awful wretch like me
The Savior saved the world and all but he did not do it for free
Or death might take me far below where the natural man can be
I never liked that Satan's power but he got a hold on me
So tell my mother I've done my best
My debts are mine, I take them in death
Because nothing here, no, nothing at all belongs to me
You know the Bible says that we're no more than the dust
So won't you sweep me and cast me out to fly
And I've swallowed my pride
But I still can't fit through a needle's eye
So I'll wander in the glory evermore
Eternity's too long to be For an awful wretch like me
The Savior saved the world and all but he did not do it for free
Or death might take me far below where the natural man can be
I never liked that Satan's power but he got a hold on me
So tell my mother I've done my best
My debts are mine, I take them in death
Because nothing here, no, nothing at all
No nothing in life, not even my life
Belongs to me
