Oh, Lord, help me to walk an oth er mile, just one more mile.

I’m tired of walk in’ all a lone.

And Lord, help me to smile

Don’t think I can do things on my (A)own.

I nev er thought I need ed help be fore.

Thought that I could get by by my self.

But now I know I just can’t take it an y more,

and with a (E)hum ble heart, on bend ed knee, I’m beg gin’ You please for (A)help.

Oh, come down

from Your gold en throne to (E)me, to low ly me.

I need to feel the touch of Your ten der (A)hand.

Re lease these chains of dark ness; let me (E)see, Lord, let me see

just where I fit in to Your mas ter (A)plan.

With a (E)hum ble heart, on bend ed knee, I’m beg gin’ You please for (A)help.
