lyrics

Lead me & guide me & help me please
I’m so tired and I’m on my knees
Lord I’m desperate desperate a desperate man
Unclean lips and unclean hands

Please don’t take me now Lord if you can help it
Let me stay down here & keep workin for a few
I’m a little worried now I’m bein' selfish
But I ain’t scared to die no we all do

Aw so take me & shake me & wake me up
I'm down on myself & down on my luck
Just for tryin to scratch an itch
Or for trying to make a buck
I’m sorry for the lies that I have told x3

But here I am again 4 in the mornin
Old rag where I been coming since a boy
It’s been the honor of my life to take the damage
And the love from you has been my greatest joy

Aw but please don’t take me now if it’s all the same to you
Feels like there’s a lotta things here that I could do
As a husband & a father & a son and brother too
But help me to believe in what you choose
Now help me to believe in what you choose x2

But what I wouldn’t give to see some grandkids
And what I wouldn’t give to see you all grey
This life we built I know that we’ve been given
And it's the Lord that gives and its the Lord that’ll take away x2

But please don’t take me now Lord if you can help it
Let me stay down here, keep workin for a few
I aint so worried now or feeling selfish
And I sure ain’t scared to die now thanks to you
