A------------------------------------------------------------------]]]] E------------------------------------------------------------------]]]] LYRICS:: VERSE 1:(NO GUITAR BACKUP) Bombarded by philosophies that satisfy the surface. I flee to something deeper at the risk of seeking purpose. How can I hang in this enviromental state of being? When everything I'm striving for, it's nothing that I'm seeing. BRIDGE1: 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'll never retreat. Unto You I will concede. CHORUS: 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. LEAD-IN VERSE 2:(NO GUITAR BACKUP) 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 at mercy for I am the chief of sinners, But daily taking up my cross has brought it's share of splinters. BRIDGE2: 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. CHORUS SOLO BRIDGE1 CHORUS X 2 END CHORUS VARIATION: 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. (You're the one I love) Cause You are the one I need. (I need You) Cause You are the one I'm seeking. (Every single day) Cause You are the one for me. (You're the one for me) Listen for the end lyrics. They are easy!!! Well, I think that's all of it. If there are any mistakes that you find, or if you just want to make a comment E-Mail me.
