Lyrics
Jesus, will you let me sing for you?
Will you sit awhile
or have you more important things to do?
I realize I'm blessed to live this life I live
and I'm grateful for the gifts that I've received
Yet I'm haunted by these voices that I hear
I'm haunted by these visions that I see
I see faces in the night
Trapped forever in moonlight
I hear their voices crying to be free
Oh, the souls you couldn't save
They call me from the grave!
Ah, they paint the memory
of all humanity
Jesus have I also failed you
Am I doing what you put me here to do?
For better or worse
Blessing or curse
I'm haunted by my love for you
I'm haunted by these voices that I hear
I'm haunted by these visions that I see
I see faces in the night
Trapped forever in moonlight
I hear their voices crying to be free
Oh, the souls you couldn't save
They call me from the grave!
Ah, they paint the memory
of all humanity
Oh, the souls you couldn't save
We call you from the grave!
Ah, we paint the memory
of all humanity
