So Help Me God (Live 1996)

Do you swear to tell the whole truth and nothing but the truth so help you God?
So help me God
So help you God
So help me God
So help you God
So help me God

[Intro 2: DC Talk, TobyMac, Michael Tait]
Portland, Oregon!
Get up, get up, get up!
Get up, get up, get up!
Get up, get up, get up!
Get up, get up, get up!
Ba ba-ba-ba-ba ba

Yeah, yeah, yea-eah
Ba ba-ba-ba-ba ba
Ba-ba-ba-ba ba
Ba-ba-ba-ba ba

[Verse 1: TobyMac]
Bombarded by philosophies that satisfy the surface
I flee to somethin' deeper at the risk of seekin' purpose
How can I hang in this environmental state of bein'
When everything I'm strivin' for is nothin' that I'm seein'? (Seein')

[Pre-Chorus 1: Kevin Max & Michael Tait]
Won't You take my heart?
Won't You take my soul?
Won't You take my soul?
Won't You come and make me whole again?
You, Ya got what I need
And You never retreat
You got what I need
Unto You I will concede

[Chorus: DC Talk, Michael Tait, Kevin Max]
So help me God
Yeah, to put my faith in You
So help me God, yeah
Before I come unglued
Call it my addiction
I can't get enough of You
So help me God, yeah yeah
To put my faith in You

[Post-Chorus: TobyMac]
Get up, get up, get up!

[Verse 2: TobyMac, with Michael Tait]
Infected by the skin I'm in that's burnin' with desire
And Jesus ain't the latest thing to come across the wire
I throw myself at mercy for I am the chief of sinners
But daily takin' up my cross has brought its share of splinters (Splinters)

[Pre-Chorus 2: Kevin Max & Michael Tait]
You're there when I call
And You're there when I fall
You're there when I call
Even though I don't deserve it all
You, You light my way
Through the night and the day
You light my way
And from You I will not stray, yeah

[Chorus: DC Talk, Michael Tait, Kevin Max]
So help me God
Yeah, to put my faith in You
So help me God, yeah
Before I come unglued
Call it my addiction
I can't get enough of You
So help me God, yeah yeah
To put my faith in You, Y-You!

[Post-Chorus: TobyMac]
Guitar!

[Guitar Solo]

[Break: Michael Tait]
Oh, yeah

[Pre-Chorus 1: Kevin Max & Michael Tait]
Won't You take my heart?
Won't You take my soul?
Won't You take my heart?
Won't You come and make me whole again?
You, Ya got what I need
And You never retreat
You got what I need
Unto You I will concede

[Chorus: DC Talk, Michael Tait, Kevin Max]
So help me God
Yeah, to put my faith in You
So help me God, yeah
Before I come unglued
Call it my addiction
I can't get enough of You
So help me God, yeah yeah
To put my faith in—

[Bridge: Michael Tait & Kevin Max, TobyMac, Michael Tait]
You are the one I love
You are the one I love (Yea-eah)
You are the one I need
You are the one I need (Yea-ea-ea-eah)
You are the one I'm seekin'
You are the one I'm seekin'
You are the one for me
You are the one for me
