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, how you saved me from myself
      How you saved me from myself

I already commented on the lyrics over on the lyrics forum, but I just wanted to say your voice is really lovely! You've definitely got a singing and playing style that suit your material.

What a lovely tribute to your wife. I don't think I've heard a harmonica (that is a harmonica, right?) in your work before. Nice touch.

Hi Vicki.. Thanks for listening and commenting. I have quite a few songs with a harmonica. Thanks again!

Hey thanks... I need to re-sing this one. I appreciate the kind words, however!

You always manage to carry your songs forward with such a personal and intimate style. I love the simplicity of the arrangement, that guitar that leads us by the hand through your emotions. @IronKnee
