Please Lord Jesus

With bloodshot eyes and a pounding head
Lastnights regret's still in my bed
I put a new notch on my headboard...again

The smell of coffee, is my alarm clock
I'm living hard, but I can't stop
I need a break, from the man, that I've become

Please help me Jesus, where did I go wrong
You built the path, but I veered right off
I'm finding comfort, in the vices of this life

I have a daughter, I have a son, I had a wife, but now she's gone
I'm stuck in memories, of the man that I once was
I carry pain, I carry burden, my poor soul it is a hurtin
Please Lord Jesus, can you help me through this day

If I run to you, can you set me straight
I'll make a promise, that I'll try to keep
Please Lord Jesus, have faith in me

I can't do sober, all by myself
With temptation, lying on the shelf
The only proof, I have to share, is colored gold, and sitting there
Please Lord Jesus, help me make it through this day....

I've shed a tear, you've seen me cry
I'm living lonely, and I know why
Please Lord Jesus, could you let me hold your hand
Please Lord Jesus, I'm a just a shadow of a man

Please Lord Jesus, help free me from my sins.......
