Lyrics

(Someone please help me!!)

o when I sought the Lord
I heard his blessed word
you know that I gave up everything to
Lord follow him

then I found God in a song
and I gave up every wrong
I gave up everything to
Lord follow him

my broken arm was  mended
My life ... was blended

and now I recommended my savior go free
I gave up everything to
Lord follow him

Then I found God in a dream
I can tell you what I mean
I gave up everything to follow, Lord, him

Then I never knew joy untill
my life my savior fill
I gave up everything to, Lord,  follow him

If you become tomorrow
then be?. God of Sorrow
when you'll be turned away
there will be no time to pray

I gave up everything to Lord follow him
