Jesus, help me find my proper place
Help me in my weakness cos I'm falling out of grace
Jesus, Jesus
Jesus, help me find my proper place
Jesus, help me find my proper place
Help me in my weakness cos I'm falling out of grace
Jesus, Jesus
Jesus, help me find my proper place
Jesus, help me find my proper place
Help me in my weakness cos I'm falling out of grace
Jesus, Jesus
by The Velvet Underground
Maybe it's the little atheist in me but my first reaction to this song on their thoroughly wonderful album The Velvet Underground was 'This can't be a worship song.' I mean, nobody in the 60s had even heard of Jesus right? Wrong, as it turns out, there were some seriously creepy Jesus-freaks even back then. But part of me refuses to believe the great band would write a song so transparently. I think it's more about a personal sense of desperation and self-loathing than, well, Jesus, but I guess the Christians will disagree.
