Analysis of Lord I need your help
Brian Bevels 1977 (Centre al)
Lord I need your help
To make it through this day.
Help me with the people I encounter
And lead me in what to say.
Lord I can't do it alone
That's why I'm looking up above.
Please touch my life today
So I can show someone else your love.
Lord I thank you for your blessings
And my prayers you have answered to.
I thank you for my family
For I know they are a gift from you.
Lord I ask again for help
With my struggles and my strife.
And I pray that you will help me
To let your love shine in my life.
Lord I pray that you will lead me
And guide me every day.
And help me to open up my heart
Where I can live my life your way.
