Bebo Norman Rita Lyrics

Rita Lyrics

Lay down softly in our sorrow 

Lay down sister to die 

And cover over, my sweet Father 

Cover over her eyes 



Your broken body, it cannot weather 

The years your youth still longs to spend 

So go down graceful, sleep with the angels 

And wake up whole again 



‘Cause it was not your time; that's a useless line 

A fallen world took your life 



But the God that sometimes can't be found 

Will wrap Himself around you 

So lay down, sister, lay down 



Slower passing are the hours 

To tell this tale that takes its time 

But the finest moment, no man can measure 

Is to look your Savior in the eyes 



So take her tender to Your table 

Take her from this killing floor 

To taste the water that is forever 

Let her be thirsty no more 



It was not her time; that's a useless line 

A fallen world took her life 



But the God that sometimes can't be found 

Will wrap Himself around you 

So lay down, sister, lay down 



And the God that sometimes can't be found 

Will wrap Himself around you 

So lay down, Rita, lay down
