Lyrics

[Verse 1]
(Lord, help me)
(Lord, help me)
(Lord, help me)
(Lord, help me)
(Lord, help me) Once more again, Your humble servant
Is calling on Your name
(Lord, help me) I've got something I want You to do for me
[Verse 2]
Help me to inspire those
That need inspiration
Let my life be a sign
Of a coming generation
[Verse 3]
(Lord, help me)
And I'm also asking You to help my brother
(Lord, help me) He needs help too, Lord
[Verse 4]
Help him to realize
All that God has given
Help him to know
That there's a purpose for living
[Verse 5]
(Lord, help me) And Lord, Lord
Hey, hey Lord, I want You to help me this evening (Lord, help me)
Help me (Help me)
Help me (Help me)
[Verse 6]
(Lord, help me) Lord, Lord, Lordy
(Lord, help me) I need You to help me this evening
And after You do that for me
(Lord, help me) Would You take time to look at my sister?
(Lord, help her) Lordy, I want You to help her this evening
[Verse 7]
Help her not to worry
About fashion and style
Lord, Lord, let her spend her time
Just raising her child, Lordy
[Verse 8]
(Lord, help me)
Oh, out there Lord, oh Lordy (Lord, help me)
Help us as a nation
To understand each other
Lord, help us as a race
To live and love one another
[Verse 9]
(Lord, help me)
(Lord, help me)
Please Lordy (Lord, help me)
(Lord, help me) I'm asking You from my heart this evening
[Verse 10]
(Lord, help me) You know I need You
I need you by my side (Lord, help me)
You know I wanna do the thing that's right
(Lord, help me) You know my mind is willing
(Lord, help me) But sometimes I've let it weigh down
