Hey Lord, I know I haven’t spoken to you in awhile,
Foolishly trying to handle it in my own style.
God, the world is a crazy place,
Filled with crazy people of every race.
But everyone is so divided that,
They do not see the problem staring them in the face.
Wars, riots, cruelty among the people is the case,
Dear Lord, please send us some grace.
Dear God, we need a helping hand
Need to feel you from land to land,
Give us the courage to make a stand
To put down our pride and take your hand.
Lord I pray these things to you,
But God I am only one man.
God, I am praying and reaching out to you,
I am praying that you see this through.
You have calmed the raging sea
And have handled the wind.
I know love and understanding is key
And you can forgive every sin.
We can not keep going in this way,
Please come guide us, is what I pray.
Dear God, we need a helping hand
Need to feel you from land to land,
Give us the courage to make a stand
To put down our pride and take your hand.
Lord I pray these things to you,
But God I am only one man.

Lord, our babies are dying in the school floors,
Men are treating women like worthless whores.
Families are being broken to the core,
Our streets are filled with blood and gore.
Left versus right, trying to even the score.
Black versus white, is still so much more.
Everyone is on edge, waiting on a war.
God I am begging for you, is what I ask for.
Adults prey on children, ready to rape
Then cover their tracks with red tape.
There is only so much that we can take,
Friends stabbing friends, turning snake
What are we supposed to do,
We are about to break.
God please come save us
In your name’s sake.
I can’t say forgive them for they know not,
Every evil that is going on is fully thought.
With no fear of them being caught,
Good always triumphs over evil is what I was taught.
Dear God, we need a helping hand
Need to feel you from land to land,
Give us the courage to make a stand
To put down our pride and take your hand.
Lord I pray these things to you,
Dear God, we need a helping hand
Need to feel you from land to land,
Give us the courage to make a stand
To put down our pride and take your hand.
Lord I pray these things to you,
But God I am only one man.
God I am only one man.
