Sandra McCracken – Can't Help Myself lyrics

[Verse 1]
I confess the things I am afraid of: thorns and danger just around the bend
I pray for tongues of fire and bands of angels to come and circle 'round me like a fence

[Chorus 1]
I lift my eyes to the hills
Where comes my help?
I lift my hands
Empty hands
I can't help myself
I can't help myself
No, I can't help myself

[Verse 2]
My enemies surround me like an army
Within, without, the battle's raging on
I pray the Spirit will be strong and mighty
For courage through the night until the dawn

[Chorus 1]
I lift my eyes to the hills
Where comes my help?
I lift my hands
Empty hands
I can't help myself
I can't help myself
No, I can't help myself


[Bridge]
Oh, oh-oh-oh Oh, oh-oh Oh, oh-oh​ Oh, Oh
Oh, oh-oh oh Oh, oh-oh Oh, oh-oh Oh, Oh
Oh, oh-oh-oh Oh, oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh, Oh
Oh, oh-oh-oh Oh, oh-oh Oh, oh-oh Oh, Oh
Ooooh, oh-oh Oh, Oh Oh

[Verse 3]
Oh trust the Lord
My soul and all that is in me
Oh trust the light to show your darkest parts
With wounds of truth and love
A friend who has known me
A fool would keep his secrets in his heart

[Chorus 2]
I lift my eyes to the hills
Here comes my help
I lift my hands
Empty hands
I can't help myself
I can't help myself
Can't help myself
Can't help myself
No, I can't help myself
I can't help myself


[Refrain]
Oh, oh-oh-oh Oh, oh-oh Oh, oh-oh Oh, Oh
Oh, oh-oh-oh Oh, oh-oh Oh, oh-oh Oh, Oh
Oh, oh-oh-oh Oh, oh-oh Oh, oh-oh-oh Oh, Oh
Oh, oh-oh-oh Oh, oh-oh Oh, oh-oh Oh, Oh
Oh, oh-oh Oh, Oh
Oh, oh-oh Oh, Oh
Oh, oh-oh Oh, Oh, Oh Oh
