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.
