If I Give My Soul

Down a dangerous road, i have come to where i’m standing
With a heavy heart, and my hat clutched in my hand
Such a foolish fool, God ain’t known no greater sinner
I have come in search of Jesus, hoping he will understand
I had a woman once, she was kind and she was gentle
Had a child by me, who grew up to be a man
I had a steady job, til i started into drinking
And i started making music that went with the devil’s band
Oh the years flew by like a mighty rush of eagles
My dreams and plans were all scattered in the wind
It’s a lonesome life, when you lose the ones you live for
If i make my peace with Jesus will they take me back again
If i give my soul, will he cleanse these clothes i’m wearin'
If i give my soul, will he put new boots on my feet
If i bow my head and beg God for his forgiveness
Will he breathe new breath inside me and give back my dignity
If i give my soul, will he stop my hands from shaking
If i give my soul, will my son love me again
If i give my soul, and she knows i really mean it If i give my soul to Jesus will she take me back again
If i give my soul to Jesus will she take me back again
