Nothing to Lose Blues

 


Nothing to Lose Blues

Written by Scott Wainwright


Well I was awake to see the sun rise

Through the tears that I shed

Well I was awake to see the sun rise

Through the tears that I shed

But there ain't no use in crying no more

Everything's been done and said


Stood looking out of the window

Bible by my side

Stood looking out of the window

Bible by my side

Well it's time to get on out there

Finally made up my mind


Because all I have is nothing to lose

And those down on myself

Waste of time, self pity blues


And when I'm out there

I'll tell them Jesus day is coming forth

And when I'm out there

I'll tell them Jesus day is coming forth

I'll spend with him eternity

I'm no longer lost


I'll lift the cup of salvation

Call the name of the Lord

I'll lift the cup of salvation

Call the name of the Lord

I'll move right on through this life

Jesus will be reward


Because all I have is nothing to lose

And those down on myself

Waste of time, self pity blues
