MY SOUL IS IN NEED OF THEE
All the heavens and all the hells live inside me.
There's a battle that goes on to decide which side will have me.
I've been a sinner my whole life and that's so clear to me.
I've done a few good deeds once in a while and I wonder if they're enough to save me.
I've been lost for so long and that has never seemed to bother me.
So here I sit in my thoughts wondering if there is any salvation for me.
