So Help Me God - Ray Charles

Bombarded by philosophies that satisfy the surface

I flee to something deeper at the risk of seeking purpose

How can I hang in this environmental state of being

When everything I'm striving for it's nothing that I'm seeing

Won't you take my heart, won't you take my soul

Won't you come and make me whole again

You, you've got what I need and you never retreat

Unto you I will concede

So help me God

To put my faith in you

So help me God

Before I come unglued

Call it my addiction

I can't get enough of you

So help me God

To put my faith in you

Infected by the skin I'm in that's starving with desire

And Jesus ain't the latest thing to come across the wire

I throw myself in mercy for I am the chief of sinners

But daily taking up my cross

Has brought it's share of splinters

You're there when I call

And you're there when I fall

Even though I don't deserve it all

You, you light my way

Through the night and the day

And from you I will not stray

God so help me

This is my soul's plea

I'm desperately devoted

I can't get enough of you

Cause you are the one I love

Cause you are the one I need

Cause you are the one I'm seeking

Cause you are the one for me
