Help me, Jesus... I'm down my knees
Help me, Jesus... I'm calling out "please"
Help me, Jesus... I've nowhere to run
Help me, Jesus... Won't you call me your son?

He blocked my way so I could not pass
I was shrouded in darkness
I found myself in the lowest pit
I'd gone down to the darkest depths

Though I hoped for good, evil came
I couldn't get rid of the ball and chain
I felt the sorrow, the grief, the pain
Then from my lips came this refrain

Help me, help me, help me, Jesus
I'm down my knees
Help me, Jesus... I'm calling out, "please"
Help me, Jesus... I've nowhere to run
Help me, Jesus... Please call me your son

I didn't know if I would survive
I'd lost it all, but I was still alive
I found nowhere I could place the blame
But when I prayed for my friends
A double portion came...

Now I'm a blessed man, that's what I am
I'm a blessed man, I'm a blessed man
That's what I am, I'm a blessed man

Through the fire and the breaking the pearl is revealed
By the power of the spirit redemption is sealed
He is wooing me onward from the jaws of distress
Laid a table before me with only his best
