Analysis of Lord Help Me
Lord help me as I go through this pain,
My tears are pouring like the rain.
Losing my mother I cannot take,
My heart everyday breaks.
She was a wonderful caring woman,
She had a heart like the sun.
She had so much love in her soul,
Her love ran over like milk in a bowl.
Now she is in heaven above,
I am going to miss her love.
Now that she has gone away,
I will miss her every day.
I will sing a song,
Momma did no wrong.
Lord help me as I go through this pain,
My tears are pouring like the rain.
