sermon

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

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 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
I knew I stepped 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

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
