So Help Me God
The Showdown Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I flee to something deeper
At the risk of seeking purpose
How can I hang in this environmental state of being
Is 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 this 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
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
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
God so help me
This is my soul plea
I'm desperately devoted
I can't get enough of You
So help me God
Cause You are 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
The lyrics of The Showdown's song So Help Me God speak of the search for a deeper purpose in life, beyond the superficial philosophies that bombard us daily. The singer acknowledges the risk of seeking something beyond the surface level, but still asks God to take their heart and soul and make them whole. They confess to being addicted to God and not being able to get enough of Him, pleading for His help to put their faith in Him and not come unglued. Despite feeling infected by the skin they're in and starving with desire, Jesus is not just the latest trend to them, and they throw themselves at His mercy as the chief of sinners. Through all the splinters they've faced while taking up their daily cross, God has been there, lighting their way through the night and day, and they do not want to stray from Him.

Bombarded by philosophies that satisfy the surface
I am overwhelmed by shallow ideas that do not fulfill me
I flee to something deeper
I search for something more substantial
At the risk of seeking purpose
Even though it is dangerous to search for meaning
How can I hang in this environmental state of being
How can I survive in this current situation
When everything I'm striving for
Despite my efforts to achieve my goals
Is nothing that I'm seeing
I am not satisfied with what I have achieved
Won't You take my heart, won't You take my soul
Please help me, God, to give you my entire being
Won't You come and make me whole again
Please heal me and make me complete
You, You've got what I need and You never retreat
You are the only one who can give me what I truly need and You will never abandon me
Unto You I will concede
I surrender myself to You
So help me God
Please assist me, God
To put my faith in You
To trust You
Before I come unglued
Before I fall apart
Call it my addiction
Considering my dependency
I can't get enough of You
I cannot get enough of Your love
Infected by the skin I'm in this starving with desire
Consumed by my desires and limited by my physical form
And Jesus ain't the latest thing to come across the wire
My faith in Jesus is not a passing trend
I throw myself at mercy for I am the chief of sinners
I beg for forgiveness because I am the worst of sinners
But daily taking up my cross
However, I am committed to carrying my burdens
Has brought it's share of splinters
Which has caused me pain and suffering
You're there when I call
You always answer when I pray
And You're there when I fall
And You are there to lift me up when I stumble
Even though I don't deserve it all
Even though I am not worthy of Your love
You, You light my way
You guide me on my path
Through the night and the day
Both day and night
And from You I will not stray
I will always remain faithful to You
God so help me
Please assist me, God
This is my soul plea
I am making this request from the depths of my heart
I'm desperately devoted
I am passionately committed
Cause You are the one I love
Because You are the one who I love
Cause You are the one I need
You are the one who I need
I need you
I need You
Cause You are the one I'm seeking
You are the one who I am searching for
Every single day
Each and every day
Cause You are the one for me
Because You are the one for me
