Get me through this Lord and I'll do anything you say Live right, read the good book, I'll settle down and pray When Gabriel blows his horn I know things might not go my way Get me through this Lord and I'll do anything you say Pluck me from this driftwood Lord I'll be a better man Raise me from the deep sea in the palm of your great hand Let me see tomorrow and I'll try to understand How the sinking of my little vessel fits into your plan [Chorus] Here's to the Halcyon, forever may she rest At the bottom of the ocean, for the good Lord knows best You made her from lumber and you gave her to the sea Now good Lord what do you propose to do with me? Get me through this Lord and I'll devote my life to you Things look pretty bleak right now but I know you'll come through I've squandered my good fortune and my other fortune too Get me through this Lord and I'll devote my life to you I cannot change my past mistakes I've led a life devoid of virtue Either way the man I am Is dead and gone although I know the past Can come around and hurt you Get me through this lord and I will never drink again I'll pore over my Bible and I'll pour out all my gin I'll prove to you a sinning man can turn his back on sin Give me some fresh water Lord I'll never drink again [Chorus: x2] Good Lord what do you propose to do with me?
