I’m surely not the best of men; I stumble and I fall 

Try as I may, I find myself at the foot of some brick wall

It’s something I can’t get over; in my nature, I guess 

Or maybe it’s something deeper, keeping me from doing my best

Alleluia… the sun began to shine 

Alleluia… when your heart found mine 

I’m a sinner, a tramp, and full of pride 

But you pulled me over… over that wall to the other side 

Alleluia, Alleluia, you saved me from myself 

Alleluia, Alleluia, how you saved me from myself

Since then, I’ve walked that crooked line much straighter than before

But I have to say, the narrow path is a balancing act, for sure 

Precariously, I teeter; some habits are hard to break

I know you’ve had cause to leave me if it weren’t for Heaven’s sake

 Alleluia… oh, how the sun does shine

Alleluia… keeping your heart close to mine

Lost and wandering, but never on my own

How you steered me over that winding road I had always known

Alleluia, Alleluia, you saved me from myself

Alleluia, Alleluia, you saved me from myself

           How you saved me from myself
