Billy Joe Shaver – If I Give My Soul MP3 Download
In 1993, Billy Joe Shaver released his seventh studio album Tramp on the Street. In this album of his, he partnered with his son Eddy to make this album possible. Billy invited other artists to guest on his album. He recorded with the country duo Brother Phelps for the songs “Live Forever” and “If I Give My Soul.” His album may not have entered the Billboard chart, but the song he recorded for his album was astounding.
“If I Give My Soul.” is a story about a father/man whom at first was a good man until he started to drink and making music. He lives a happy life before, with his woman and his child, then when the alcohol consumes him, he became a different person. His woman and his child left him, his dreams were lost, and he is left alone. He knows that he did something terrible therefore he goes to someone he knows who can cleanse him. The narrator wants to have his old life back. He wants to live the way his life was with his woman and his child. He wants to clothe himself with something new and clean instead of wasting his life. The narrator wonders if Jesus will forgive him and bring back his old life. He wonders if Jesus will clean his soul and make it new.
Whatever we did or whoever we are we shouldn’t hide from our sins, we should go directly to Jesus. Let us confess our sins, and Jesus will forgive us.
“If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.” -1 John 1:9
