Sam Amidon O Death
[Verse 1]
What is this that I can't see
With icy hands taking hold on me?
I am Death, no one can tell
I'll open the doors to Heaven or Hell
[Chorus]
O Death
O Death
Please spare me over just another year
[Verse 2]
I'll fix your feet so you can't walk
I'll lock your jaw so you cannot talk
Close your eyes so you can't see
This very hour come and go with me
[Verse 3]
"O Death," someone would say
"Couldn't you call some other day?"
God's children pray, the preacher preach
Time and mercy are outta your reach
[Chorus]
O Death
O Death
Please spare me over just another year
[Verse 4]
My mother, come to my bed
Place a cold towel upon my head
My head is warm, my feet are cold
Death is moving upon my soul
[Chorus]
O Death
O Death
Please spare me over just another year
[Verse 5]
O Death, please consider my age
Please don't take me at this stage
My wealth is all at your command
If you will move your icy hand
[Chorus]
O Death
O Death
Please spare me over just another year
O Death
O Death
Please spare me over just another year
