I have been a traveler, many miles I've crossed
I have been a dreamer whose dreams have all been lost
I have loved too often, but never had love true
Lord, I've lived an empty life and no one knows like you

Save me, save me
Lord, I've thrown away the life you gave me
Lord, save me, you're the only one that can
Take my trembling hand, dear Lord, and save me

I've sit in the churches, listened to the word
Jesus was a-preachin', his message seldom heard
Oh but looking from the bottom can change your point-of-view
Oh Jesus, if you're listening, my sinning days are through

Save me, save me
Lord, I've thrown away the life you gave me
Lord, save me, you're the only one that can
Take my trembling hand, dear Lord, and save me

Save me, save me
Lord, I've thrown away the life you gave me
Lord, save me, you're the only one that can
Take my trembling hand, dear Lord, and save me
