Stakes

Oh Lord, I am weaker than I used to be
 Cause times are hard
 And I ain't sure how I'm gonna make ends meet
 With every slamming door I feel defeat
 Should I keep fighting on or just retreat
 Oh Lord, I am weaker than I used to be
 So give me strength for the days to come
 And all those troubles I been running from
 Cause I'm tired and I been run down
 I need to feel the peace that I once found
 Lord you know the things that I done
 To make it right you gotta help me some
 Oh Lord, give me strength for the days to come
 Oh Lord, I been thinking bout the ties that bind
 And how I'm dragging round
 These broken moments that I left behind
 I'm always looking for what I can't find
 And end up prisoned here inside my mind
 Oh Lord, I been thinking bout the ties that bind
 So give me strength for the days to come
 And all those troubles I been running from
 Cause I'm tired and I been run down
 I need to feel the peace that I once found
 Lord you know the things that I done
 To make it right you gotta help me some
 Oh Lord, give me strength for the days to come
 Oh Lord, I been wondering if I can change
 If I'm ever gonna get things right
 Or if I'm just deranged
 Is there anything I can exchange
 Would it be better just to rearrange
 Oh Lord am I ever really gonna change
 So give me strength for the days to come
 And all those troubles I been running from
 Cause I'm tired and I been run down
 I need to feel the peace that I once found
 Lord you know the things that I done
 To make it right you gotta help me some
 Oh Lord, give me strength for the days to come
