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.

This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP, representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are "hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the official DC TALK tablature which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route. These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the NY Times Article. We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
