Outside the Palace Lyrics

See my ships 

they are sailing 

in and out of the harbor 

will they go together 

or must they stay apart 

yes I know it's in my heart 

surely you see what's inside of me 

Jesus is coming soon 

I can hear Gabriel 

blow his trumpet tune 

this I know 

this I know 

our lord is coming soon 

mercy mercy me 

Marvin Gaye he was shot 

by his father 

o my Father 

have mercy on me 

cold kane o my cheap thrill 

o my shame for Cain 

and the devil 

momma I need water 

I'm thirsty 

surely you see 

what's inside of me
