Help Me The Spirit And The Flesh

Help me I have fallen

And I can't get up

Help me I've used razors

To heal me where I'm cut

Help me I've used chemicals

To ease the pain

What was pink is now purple

What was clean is now stained

Help me I'm in danger

I just know I am

I've become a stranger

In my own homeland

Fear has crept upon me

Like a shadow from the grave

What I thought was freedom

Has now chained me like a slave

Help me I have fallen and I can't get up

But I believe that you can lift me up

If you're real God please lift me up

Help me I'm in trouble

I can hear the lions roar

Being drawn closer

To the threshing floor

I invented my own wisdom

Like a counterfeiter's stash

But I couldn't create my own heaven

Just a lot of worthless trash

[Chorus]

Please lift me up

Help me

Help me

Help me....

I have heard you crying in the night

I have heard your prayers at the morning light

I have loved you since before your birth

Now I'll dwell among you on the earth

I'll send my son...

He will raise the dead

The starving shall be fed

He will take your pain

Your suffering and shame

He will span the crest

Between the spirit and the flesh

He will raise the dead

Jesus came to lift us from the mud

God in dwelling in real flesh and blood

"Don't be angry; he just loves you so"

Let his spirit come and take control

It has begun....

Jesus understands

The heart of every man

He can feel your pain

Your suffering and shame

He has spanned the crest

Between the spirit and the flesh

He has raised the dead

Jesus understands

The heart of every man

He will take your pain

Your suffering and shame

Though the soul had died

It can be made alive

The holy place was closed

'Til Jesus rose!

When he spanned the crest

Between the spirit and the flesh
