Lyrics
Running on Empty
(words and music Mickey Wynne)
Oh Lord help my broken heart, mend my wounded wings
With your Love , I'll come alive and do so many things
And do so many things
Oh Lord help my suffering soul, a lamb before the wolf
Nourish me, I am the seed, just lead me through that gulf
Oh pray draw nigh that gulf
At the crossroads on my knees
Cryin 'bout the past
Got to thinking as I sink
How long's this gonna last
How long this gonna last
The credit man hes at the door
Im on my last ditch shoes
Runnin on empty, Ill carry on
It's the best that I can do
The best that I can do
You know the crowds they roar they cheer me on
Like waves they ebb and flow
Full moon, new moon move the tides
That's all I need to know
That's all I need to know
Oh Lord help my suffering soul, a lamb before the wolf
Nourish me, I am the seed, just lead me through that gulf
Oh pray draw nigh that gulf
Oh Lord help my broken heart, mend my wounded wings
With your Love , I'll come alive and do so many things
And do so many things
Oh Lord help my suffering soul, a lamb before the wolf
Nourish me, I am the seed, just lead me through that gulf
Oh pray draw nigh that gulf
Oh Lord help my broken heart, mend my wounded wings
With your Love , I'll come alive and do so many things
