This old sinful body, sometimes it makes me sigh and groan.
This old earthly body, sometimes it makes me weep and moan.
Give me the low-down, shakin' chill
and I found out what it means to be alone.
Yeah, I was on a good-healthy-draft-fightin'-lovin'-peace-tokin'-LSD-world-philosophy-bold-cold-hot-guitar-pickin'-psychedelic-wizard-blind-mystic-one-way ticket to everlasting death. The devil was always offering me the best but giving me the worst. He offered me freedom and then tied my hands behind my back. When torment set in he laughed at me so I tried Scientology, yoga, self-realization, meditating, good worldly things, but I just kept sinking lower. I tried everything but Jesus. There is a way which seems right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.
Early one morning I was just as scared as I could be.
Early in the morning I was just as scared as I could be
I asked God to forgive me and Jesus to help me please
Jesus said, "If a man keep My saying, he shall never see death."
When I gave my heart to Jesus
I could feel the earth shaking all under my feet
When I gave my heart to Jesus
I could feel the earth shaking all up under my feet
Wasn't that a glorious victory as I knelt down at the mercy seat.
