Heavenly Help

orchidee



Tune: Duke Street

('Fight the good fight')

*******

Help me, Lord, to understand me

That I see what our Father sees

And do help me make the changes

That improves and rearranges

 

Do Lord, take my inventory

Help me truly know my story

It be my own biography

Of all the things that make up me

 

Help me Lord here to get better

And stay dry in life's rough weather

And please don't let me strong rage storm

Nor to rain down in any form

 

Help me Lord here to put you first

So come, quench my terrific thirst

And help me assist the others

That they truly be my brothers

 

And help me Lord not to stumble

Or be less than honest, humble

And help me daily to walk on

While leaning on you, keep me strong

    Thanks STEVE "Fight the Good Fight" and a Prayer requesting GOD's help & support throughout the day are a perfect antidote for "Monday Morning Blues !" I love the last line "Leaning on You (GOD) ~ Keep(s) me strong ~ AMEN" Thanks for caring ~ BRIAN

          Very well written! I am very struck by the last stanza!

          • orchidee

            Thanks Aislinn. I've only altered it minimally from the original by w.c.

            Well done, orchi! We have to continuously improve. I guess if we stop, we die.

              Thanks Fred. I agree with the thoughts of the original poem by wc. I felt a tune coming on, so adapted wc's poem with permission!

              • FredPeyer

                And you did a great job!

                • orchidee

                  Thanks Fred. I didn't want to alter it much. I didn't want to make it my 'own words'.
