Save Me From Myself
Michael W. Smith Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
My heart is hard as stone
On my own, alone, I carry it home
Gone
I used to waste the days,
So distraught, I thought, I'm changing my ways
Now you're changing my ways
Save me from myself
There is no one else
I'd lean on
Save me
You save me from myself
There is no one else that sets me free
Start
The start of something new
Is what I find, when I'm just looking at you.
Lift
You lift me off the ground,
Keep holding my hand
I won't bend or even look down
Don't look down!
Don't look down!
You save me
Save me from myself
There is no one else
I'd lean on
Save me
You save me from myself
There is no one else that sets me free
You save me
Save me from myself
There is no one else
I'd lean on
Save me
You save me from myself
There is no one else that sets me free

A Verdade é que os cantores gospel brasileiros não cansam de criar uma letra em cima das músicas do Michael W Smith! Então galera, no mínimo respeitem esse gênio da música gospel mundial!
Paulo Urbano
Na verdade essa música é da banda dinamarquesa Carpark North. Smith e oficinas apenas copiaram.

This song is tooooo cool. It's a worship song you can still kinda jam too. It sounds so good. : ) & I love how after all of these years of singing, Michael W. Smith has consistently shared the truth and love of Jesus Christ through his music. I thank God for giving me such a positive role model to look up. Especially,when so many others are changing their message & beliefs for fame. Keep it up Mr.Smith!
