He laughed at my sins
[Bm] In His [A] arms I must stay
_ _ _ [Am] [Em] He wrote, _
_ [F] I am broke
[Am] _ Please send for me
_ _ _ But I am [F] broken too

Do [G] not [Am] tempt me
_ _ Her [C] skin is white
And I'm light as the sun

And [C] where is the lamb
[Dm] That gave you your name
[C] He had to leave
Though I begged [A] Him to stay
_ _ [F] Begged Him to stay
[E] In my cold wooden grip
