So Help Me God
Redemption's Anthem: A Journey from Despair to Faith
Lyrics
She ain't never been a fan of whiskey
Expressing that she doesn't like whiskey.
But she had to taste it every time she kissed me
Despite not liking whiskey, she tastes it when kissing the speaker.
Said she wants forever with me

But if I don't quit she's gonna quit me
Fear that the speaker's whiskey habit may lead to a breakup.
She been stayin' at her mama's

She's the one thing I can't lose
She is essential to the speaker; he can't afford to lose her.
And I don't think I got a problem
The speaker is in denial about having a problem with whiskey.
But I'll do what I gotta do
Despite denial, the speaker is willing to take necessary actions.
Yeah, so help me God, I'm gonna change
Expressing a commitment to change with divine assistance.
I'll pour this bottle down the drain

Send that devil's water to Hell where it belongs
Referring to whiskey as "devil's water" and wanting to rid it from his life.
So help me God, I'll change her mind

I'll walk by faith, I'll walk that line

Lord, I'll show her I can do this on my own

So help me God
Reiterating the plea for divine assistance.
Lord, I swore that I could take it
The speaker thought he could handle the situation but is struggling.
But this morning I was shakin'
The morning after effects of excessive drinking are taking a toll.
Now I'm inside out and breakin'
Feeling emotionally and physically broken.
Down on my knees and prayin'
The speaker is desperate, praying while on his knees.
So help me God, I'm gonna change
