If I Give My Soul Lyrics - Stuart Marty

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 

Had a woman once, she was kind and she was gentle 

Had a child by me, who grew up to be a man 

Had a steady job, till I started into drinking 

Then I started making music traveling with the devil's band 

Ohh, the years flew by like a mighty rush of eagles 

Our dreams and plans were all scattered the wind 

Well, 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 clean these clothes I'm wearing? 

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 me back my dignity?
