[Verse]
Feet in the mud, heart in the ditch,
Shadows creep where the soul might twitch.
Empty pockets, hands full of dust,
A man learns quick, despair's unjust.
Eyes to the heavens, voice to the ground,
Prayers get lost where no echoes sound.
[Prechorus]
Chains rattle, but they don’t break,
Crawling through the fire for heaven’s sake.
[Chorus]
Oh, Jesus, Savior, take this soul,
Patch the cracks, make the sinner whole.
Lift me up, through the stormy tide,
Oh, Jesus, Jesus, be my guide.
(Oh, Jesus, Jesus, be my guide.)
[Verse 2]
Demons laugh where the hunger bites,
Cold wind howls through the sleepless nights.
Every corner, the devil’s grin,
Poverty’s prison, walls caving in.
But mercy’s whisper cuts the gloom,
Hope blooms bright in an empty room.
