Can't Help Myself - Sandra McCracken

I confess the things I am afraid of: thorns and danger just around the bend

I pray for tongues of fire and bands of angels to come and circle 'round me

like a fence

I lift my eyes to the hills

Where comes my help?

I lift my hands

Empty hands

I can’t help myself

I can’t help myself

No, I can’t help myself

My enemies surround me like an army

Within, without, the battle’s raging on

I pray the Spirit will be strong and mighty

For courage through the night until the dawn

I lift my eyes to the hills

Where comes my help?

I lift my hands

Empty hands

I can’t help myself

I can’t help myself

No, I can’t help myself

Oh, oh-oh-oh Oh, oh-oh Oh, oh-oh​ Oh, Oh

Oh, oh-oh oh Oh, oh-oh Oh, oh-oh Oh, Oh

Oh, oh-oh-oh Oh, oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh, Oh

Oh, oh-oh-oh Oh, oh-oh Oh, oh-oh Oh, Oh

Ooooh, oh-oh Oh, Oh Oh

Oh trust the Lord

My soul and all that is in me

Oh trust the light to show your darkest parts

With wounds of truth and love

A friend who has known me

A fool would keep his secrets in his heart

I lift my eyes to the hills

Here comes my help

I lift my hands

Empty hands

I can’t help myself

I can’t help myself

Can’t help myself

Can’t help myself

No, I can’t help myself

I can’t help myself

Oh, oh-oh-oh Oh, oh-oh Oh, oh-oh Oh, Oh

Oh, oh-oh-oh Oh, oh-oh Oh, oh-oh Oh, Oh

Oh, oh-oh-oh Oh, oh-oh Oh, oh-oh-oh Oh, Oh

Oh, oh-oh-oh Oh, oh-oh Oh, oh-oh Oh, Oh

Oh, oh-oh Oh, Oh

Oh, oh-oh Oh, Oh

Oh, oh-oh Oh, Oh, Oh Oh
