The Slide

(Michael Timmins)

Jesus, sweet Jesus
If you’re listening, can you pass me to your Pa?
I’m having a hard time understanding
Why He’s so cruel and demanding with His love.

Darling, sweet darling,
keep whispering, I’ll find you through this din.
Sitting and watching
Two flames busy dancing to our love.

Grab on to this moment
Inhale it, hold it inside.
Savour its sweetness, yearn for the slide.

Jesus, sweet Jesus
If you’re listening, can you pass me to your Pa?
I’m having a hard time understanding
Why He’s so discriminating with his love.
I’m having a hard time understanding
