Lindsay Niccs - Bethany Lyrics

Here we go again
I've carried all my burdens in my hands
I've been looking for a friend
But everyone just sees me for what I did
I heard man's coming to town
I heard he got a heart like gold
No I can't play around
I gotta get to the man
Maybe he can

Save my soul
Maybe he can make me whole
All I have is this oil
Can I stay at your feet
Even though the church don't want me
Welcome to Bethany
Welcome to Bethany

Apparently the prophets don't like me
And they all think that you are one
They say if you're a man of God you should deny
Because of all of the things I've done
I lay at your feet
The tears keeps streaming down
No, I aint got no tissue on me
I guess my hair will have to do for now
This is my oil
Bring you oil
This is my oil
Bring your oil
This is my oil
I made it to the man
I still think He can

Save my soul
Maybe he can make me whole
All I have is this oil
Can I stay at your feet
Even though the prophets don't like me
Welcome to Bethany
Welcome to Bethany

Simon I've got something to say to you
If a man lend you money and her money too
If he gave you fifty and gave her five hundred
And then forgave you both
Whose love would be more abundant
Of course the one who owed more
You aint even offer me oil
She gave me what she had
And because of that
Woman
Bring your oil
Bring your oil
Your sins are forgiven
Go in peace
