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.
