May, Imelda - When It's My Time Lyrics






Wash me in water, that flows from your side
Bathe me in blood, that you gave when you died
Carry me over, to the other side

When it's my time lord
When it's my time

But until then, Can you hold my hand?
Don't know what I'm doing
And I don't understand

Help me!
I'm calling your name
Oh, hold me close and ease my pain

I'm not a saint, but I'm not the worst
Yes, I'm a sinner. But I'm not the last or the first
Deep down inside, oh you know that I'm good
And I just done the best, done the best that I could

Oh I love you
Said 'I love you' out loud
And I'm your child
And that I'm so proud
So wrap me up in your holy shroud
Oh take me home, but just don't take me now

Wash me in water, that flows from your side
And bathe me in blood, that you gave when you died
Carry me over, to the other side

When it's my time, Lord
When it's my time

Oh, when it's my time, Lord
When it's my time

    Mam, 3 years cant ever be the same 💔💔💔💔

  60. P.... ....

    I really love your voice. Do not stop singing !!!! :)

  61. P.... ....

    You are a female Elvis !! Sing Elvis's End Of Time Songs I Think You Won !!!!! Thank you for existing!!

  62. m.... b....

    A very talented singer, extremely soulful and real

  63. J.... M....

    Vocally you're an Asian kid with maths, I don't watch interviews, don't read biographies, this album and look... Imelba, you're about to go on American Idol and I'm your friend telling you don't do it. Personally I had no problem with the fun chick singing great fun songs, but if you have to try and be deep and shit, try to channel some Janis Joplin (ugly chick in the 70's) or Tracy Chapman (Black chick in the the 80's coming from the lowest social economic class) angry bitter post- menapausal chick ain't doing it for anybody, (except angry post menapausal.... women) please do something else before I write an an album about how depressed your current persona makes me, only your true friends will tell you when you suck, (don't even get sexual I'm not in the mood) and hurry up, still a fan just not happy JMB

  64. D.... M....

    The bass player is from the defunct IM Band, Is that a skinny Darryl(standing) playing one of the acoustic guitars?

  65. a.... ....

    This song is the touches my heart is the most religious and sensitive way possible..Just incredible performer who I hope comes to Phila., I have been watching her since I found the song "Poor Boy". She is just wonderful. Puts her heart and soul into everything. God bless her.

  66. J.... V....

    La voz que sale desde el alma.

  67. a.... m....

    Love it .

  68. R.... "....

    It's four a.m., I can't sleep, and I have tears rolling down my face.

    Imelda is brilliant.

  69. E.... F....

    love this :)

  70. a.... ....

    Imelda is an angel from heaven. She makes my heart break in a good way and I just love her work tremendously.

  71. M.... Z....

    me encanta fabulosa !!!

  72. k.... ....

    +500 000 000 :)

  73. R.... R....

    Can't stop listening to her sing. Inspirational like Aretha.

  74. W.... K....

    oh poor Imelda....she got the Blues

  75. D.... S....

    If I had to play a song on repeat for the rest of my life......it would be this beautiful gem right here.

  76. B.... D....

    Perfection its that simple

  77. M.... A....

    Detentora de uma voz extremamente sensual. Tem um estilo impecável 🌹

  78. p.... t....

    the best , she is simply the best   ,GOD  I pray she really knows the one who bled   intimately ,,,   for that is why HE came

  79. P.... M....

    She is a class act!

  80. M.... M....

    Move over Adele.... the voice is here...

  81. J.... B....

    That was special,a lovely voice.

  82. E.... Z....

    La mejor sin duda alguna, sobre ella nadie <3

  83. b.... ....

    Imelda tu es une merveilleuse , une grande et magnifique chanteuse .

  84. K.... B....

    Wow is the word or should I say awesome. This lady should be a mega star she sings with so much fire and passion.Something that is missing from modern music. All your Taylor Swifts Lady Gaga and Adels. Out there better stand up and take notice Imelda Mae is the real deal. She is not afraid to be versatile or sing from the heart. At least she isn't no manufactured pop star. Truly one amazing talent. I love her early rockabilly recordings Her new stuff is really growing on me to. Keep up the great work. God bless you Imelda.

    K.... B....

    Trouble is the sheep will follow the shite they get and lap it up

    K.... B....

    I asked for a voice & height
    I got neither
    I appreciate this beautiful song by Imelda Mae.

  85. R.... ....

    There is no doubt that she's got a great voice, but the religious content of the song is a turn-off. If this were church, I might be into it. Then again, there is a reason I do not go to church. Hint: it's not the singing.

    R.... ....

    Ring0fSaturn you sux seriously

  86. p.... ....

    I love you Imelda! You're an inspiration and true talent! Brazil hear you!

  87. c.... m....

    Belíssima! Em tudo!

  88. W.... V....

    She still be mine, I love her. by the way!! :) ;) <3

  89. N.... H....

    You could've tuned the bass note at 1.05..

    N.... H....

    I suppose they have their contribution and --- you have yours!

    N.... H....

    kal 61 Yep bum note right there

  90. T.... S....
