Here's the lyrics to "Save Me", from Rich's first album, as sung at the concert (small changes from lyrics on liner notes).

Save Me
Words and Music by Rich Mullins

Save me, save me. Save me from my contempt for the things that make me strong. Save me from any values I can put a price tag on. Save me from Soviet propagandists, now won't you save me from Washington. Please, save me. Lord, save me.

Save me, save me. Save me from the slick pop sounds laid down in virgin vinyl grooves Save me from any woman who would be turned on by the aftershave I'd use Save me from trendy religion that makes cheap cliches out of timeless truths Lord, save me. Please, save me. Save me.
