Jesus, help me please to just put down my gin.
What am I to do? I'm addicted to my sin.
I tell myself I'm done with it; it's time that I move on.
I look into my hand; another bottle gone.
The things a man puts in, they do not defile,
But when it comes back out I can taste the bile.
If I'm damned I've been damned from my first sip.
There's nothing I can do. Jesus, help me quit.
This ain't a sermon; I got no gospel to share.
If there's some good news I don't see it anywhere.
Fire water's gonna drown me; drown me in its sea.
I am helpless here, Jesus rescue me.
I am helpless here, Jesus rescue me.
I am helpless here ,Jesus rescue me.
