Thursday Night Sermon Lyrics by Will Gardiner

Please Speak Softly

2021

[Verse 1]
My girlfriend dragged me to church
She wanted to help me find some peace
I figured it had been a while
And I could use some calm
[Verse 2]
The pastor started speaking
Calling out to us
But as soon as he spoke your name
I felt the blood drain from my face
My fingers clenched in fear
Palms dripping and heart beating fast
The floor began to move under my feet
He spoke louder now
Calling the people to submit to you
Said that you were all the guidance we could ever need
[Verse 3]
I could barely think then
Paralyzed by fear
I wanted to run but I knew there was nowhere to go
I had given myself up to you
I had walked deep into that forest
How could you be good with all you had done to me?
Was that what love was?
Should I have given in to you?
[Verse 4]
I am scared of what I do not know
But I know enough to never come back to you
I was weak and you twisted me into knots
I almost fainted as the pastor finished
Bright lights danced before my eyes
Just hearing your name was enough to hurt me
[Chorus]
I’ll never go back
I’ll never go back
Your hands were around my throat
Even now I'm barely afloat
