Lord, Help me walk Another mile, just one more mile, I'm tired of walkin' all alone. Lord, Help me smile Another smile, just one more smile, I know I just can't make it on my own. I never thought I needed help before, I thought that I could do things by myself. Now I know I just can't take it any more. With a humble heart, on bended knee, I'm beggin' You, please, Help Me. Come down from Your golden Throne to me, to lowly me, I need to feel the touch of Your tender hand. Remove the chains of darkness And let me see, Lord let me see, Just where I fit into your master plan. I never thought I needed help before, I thought that I could do things by myself. Now I know I just can't take it any more. With a humble heart, on bended knee, I'm beggin' You, please, Help Me.
