Ciao Everybody,
I had an argument with some friends of mine last night about some gospel lyrics. Here's how the lyrics were worded:
Now that I know that I've needed you,
So help me Jesus my soul's in Your hands.
Here's how I think they should be worded:
Now that I know that I've needed you so,
Help me Jesus my soul's in Your hands.
My point is that if a sentence begins with "Now" it can't be followed by a second sentence starting with "so".
Now that I have asked, so I feel better.
Now that you know how stubborn I am, so don't contradict me anymore.
Please don't look at them from a poetical point of view. Poetically speaking I really see how that "so" works, and they can write pretty much anything. Look at it like everyday English, and let me know if:
Both sentences make sense;
Only the first one does;
Only the second one does;
None of them do;
One on Mondays;
The other on Thursdays;
Thanks in advance for your help.
Saoul
