Track 7 from my album Unveiled cuts straight through surface to the deeply rooted insecurities and doubts that I face as a Christian. Recognizing that I’ve tried to do it on my own and failed, “Help Me” is an unapologetic cry out to God for help.
[Verse 1: Coop]
I've fallen short so many times that I couldn't count it
My imperfection sticks out, no way to look around it
This journey started with me stuck at the foot of a mountain
Tried to move it on my own but the issue was grounded
Grounded deep down in the depths of my soul
Sometimes I look up and wonder why You left me alone
Your Son's hands were stretched, flesh ripped from the bone
So how could I so easily forget the debt I owe?
I just live my life yeah, do it for myself, I'ma be the man
I don't need Your help, yeah
Honestly I need to put my pride on the shelf
'Cause though I don't understand this, I know You already planned it
I am nothing but damaged, only You can fix it
I don't want religion I want Jesus, there's a difference
Jesus over politics
Jesus over pigment
Jesus over porn
Jesus over my addictions
I don't want your rules, I won't follow your traditions
I don't want your genres so don't you box me in this
Calling out to God 'cause He told me He would listen
You told me You would listen so listen
[Chorus: Drew Weeks]
I've been thinking that it's time to say now
I've been doing this on my own for so long
I've been thinking that it's Your turn
I won't do this on my own, I need You to help me
I need You to help me
I need You to help me, yeah
[Verse 2: Coop]
Faith is something I grapple with
Doubts hit me from every angle
Temptation's screaming at me like "Just let me save you"
Devil on my shoulder but he likes to be camouflaged
As Heaven's angel, just one more look, one more touch
It's only one more drink, one more puff
This life is here and then it's gone might as well live it up
That was the line my favorite artists fed me while growing up
Sometimes I think about my witness, the example I set
Then think about the way I handle myself when I'm with my friends
The jokes that we throw around, the conversation we make
If people heard it would they know if I was honestly saved?
'Cause most of my life has really been acting out my religion
Playing Church with the Christians
Then playing God on the weekends
But then He looked at me and said "My grace is sufficient"
"And my power is made perfect in your weakness"
[Chorus: Drew Weeks]
I've been thinking that it's time to say now
I've been doing this on my own for so long
I've been thinking that it's Your turn
I won't do this on my own, I need You to help me
I need You to help me
I need You to help me, yeah
