about

Gospel inspired song about a man in slow decline who is becoming
increasingly desperate to find a solution to his problems but is unwilling to face up to the facts.

lyrics

Salvation ( d ) DADGAD

Christian won’t you tell me what it is that I must do
Where do I find work, when there’s no work coming through
Do I go up to the station and try and jump a passing train
And head up to the city full of drunken dreams again
I can see it in the distance, it get’s closer everyday
Lord help ease my burden to get me on my way
If I could only get my mojo working in the bosom of your sweet heart

Lord please give me succour
A thousand times I’ve cried
I am ready for salvation and I can’t be denied.

Angel give me shelter from the devils in my head
Help me walk the path of rightousness in place of sin instead
I just got to keep on moving, or all hope is gone
On dusty roads from town to town you’ll see me stumbling on
I can see it in the distance, it get’s closer everyday
Help ease my burden to get me on my way
If I could only get my mojo working in the bosom of your sweet heart

Lord please give me succour,
A thousand times I’ve cried
I am ready for salvation and I can’t be denied.

I can see it in the tears of my children’s eyes
Looking at me for answers, remembering promises I’ve made
If I could get a gun, flag someone down
Lord give me the answer I have come undone

Moses now it’s over the end has come at last
I’m sitting here staring at an empty glass
I just got to keep on moving, or all hope is gone
On dusty roads from town to town you’ll see me stumbling on
I can see it in the distance, it get’s closer everyday
Help ease my burden get me on my way
If I could only get my mojo working in the bosom of your heart


A thousand times I’ve cried
I am ready for salvation and I can’t be denied.
