Lyrics
Help Me Care
Lord please help me care
For all those sick and lonely
Who knows, it could be the only
Love they may know
Lord please help me care
For all your precious children
And let your Light shine
In my world, today
It's easy to be kind
When you like what you see
It's easy to be nice
When you give a paycheck to me
But what about that poor
And homeless beggar in the street
Right in front of me
Begging for mercy,
He needs mercy
Lord please help me care
For all those sick and lonely
Who knows it could be the only
Love they may know
Lord please help me care
For all your blessed children
And let your Light shine
In my world today
Every day I go to work
And ask "How's things with you?"
She says "Oh I'm OK,
Just a little touch of the blues
But when she's all alone
Each night and says
"Just one more drink"
And cries herself to sleep
She's begging for mercy
Gotta share some mercy
Lord please help me care
For all those sick and lonely
Who knows it could be the only
Love they may know
Lord please help me care
For all your broken children
And let your Light shine
In my world today
