(A)Heav en (F#m7)help me (B)shoul der (E)my load; (A)ev ’ry (D)day’s a (D)strug gle.

(E)Still, (Fdim7)some one’s got to (F#m7)take the high road.

If I (E)don’t, who (Asus)will?

(C)I be came a (F)man of God

to do His work,

to spread His word, to (F)ease some pain and (Em7)dry some (Am)tears.

(Dm7)That (Gsus)was the (Csus)plan.

But (F#m)I

(E)might have thought twice

if on ly I (A)knew that (F)I’d spend (C)all of my time say ing, (Dm7)“Ainh, ainh, ainh, (Em7)no!

No!

Don’t (G)do that!”

See, (Bb)ev ’ry one (F)prays for sal (Eb)va tion.

Oh, Heav en (B7)help me.

If Heav en can’t,
