So Help Me God
dc.talk Lyrics

Bombarded by philosophies that satisfy the surface
Overwhelmed by shallow beliefs and ideas that look good but offer no real substance

I flee to something deeper
I seek something more profound and meaningful to satisfy my soul's yearning

At the risk of seeking purpose
I'm willing to take a chance to find my life purpose and meaning even if it's risky

How can I hang in this environmental state of being
How can I endure and thrive in this worldly existence that's hostile to spiritual values and principles?

When everything I'm striving for
Despite all my efforts to succeed and find happiness,

Is nothing that I'm seeing
I'm disappointed and disillusioned with worldly achievements and pleasures that leave me empty

Won't You take my heart, won't You take my soul
I can't fix myself; I need divine intervention to heal my hurting heart and transform my life

Won't You come and make me whole again
Please heal my brokenness and make me complete in every way, body, soul, and spirit

You, You've got what I need and You never retreat
Only You, God, have the solution to all my problems, and You never abandon me despite my failings

Unto You I will concede
I surrender my will and life to You, God, acknowledging that You're my only hope and Savior

Infected by the skin I'm in this starving with desire
My fleshly nature is diseased by desires and passions that torment me and lead me astray

And Jesus ain't the latest thing to come across the wire
I don't follow Jesus because it's trendy or fashionable, but because He's the eternal truth and source of salvation

I throw myself at mercy for I am the chief of sinners
I rely solely on Your mercy and grace to forgive my sins, as I'm the greatest sinner I know

But daily taking up my cross
But every day, I choose to follow Jesus' path of self-denial, sacrificial love, and obedience

Has brought it's share of splinters
It's been painful and challenging to follow Jesus, as I've had to endure hardships and persecution

You're there when I call
You're always available and responsive when I reach out to You in prayer and faith

And You're there when I fall
You don't condemn or reject me when I stumble or sin, but pick me up and help me stand again

Even though I don't deserve it all
Even though I'm unworthy and undeserving of Your grace and blessings, You still offer them to me out of Your love and kindness

You, You light my way
You illuminate my path and guide me with Your truth and wisdom

Through the night and the day
You're with me at all times, in darkness and light, in joy and sorrow

And from You I will not stray
I'm committed to staying close to You and obeying Your will, no matter what happens

God so help me
I earnestly ask for Your divine assistance and intervention, God, as I can't do it on my own

This is my soul plea
This is a heartfelt and urgent request from the deepest part of my being, my soul

I'm desperately devoted
I'm passionately and unreservedly dedicated to You, God, as You're my highest priority and love

Cause You are the one I love
Because You, God, are the ultimate object of my affection and devotion

Cause You are the one I need
Because You, God, are the only one who can meet my deepest needs and longings

[I need you]
I desperately need You, God, in every aspect of my life, and I can't live without You

Cause You are the one I'm seeking
Because You, God, are the ultimate goal and purpose of my life, and I'm constantly pursuing You

[Every single day]
Every day, I strive to draw closer to You and live for Your glory, honoring Your name in everything I do and say.
