My sweet Lord, desperately
I am alone, and afraid to be
My love is gone, so far away
I need my sweet Lord's help today
Let Your love shine down on me
And light the way to be
Oh and these are the words that I pray
I need my sweet Lord's help today
Blind is the fool, I see that now
I broke the rules, and let You down
I walked alone, now I have run dry
I need my sweet Lord's help tonight
Let Your love shine down on me
And light the way to be
Oh and these are the words that I pray
I need my sweet Lord's help today
I need my sweet Lord's help today
