Tom Jones - If I Give My Soul lyrics

Down a dangerous road, I have come to where I'm standing With a heavy heart, and my hat clutched in my hand Such a foolish fool, God ain't known no greater sinner I have come in search of Jesus, hoping he will understand I had a woman once, she was kind and she was gentle Had a child by me, who grew up to be a man I had a steady job, til I started into drinking And I started making music that went with the devil's band Oh the years flew by like a mighty rush of eagles My dreams and plans were all scattered in the wind It's a lonesome life, when you lose the ones you live for If I make my peace with Jesus will they take me back again If I give my soul, will he cleanse these clothes I'm wearin' If I give my soul, will he put new boots on my feet If I bow my head and beg God for his forgiveness Will he breathe new breath inside me and give back my dignity If I give my soul, will he stop my hands from shaking If I give my soul, will my son love me again If I give my soul, and she knows I really mean it If I give my soul to Jesus will she take me back again If I give my soul to Jesus will she take me back again
