I cry out to you within my soul
For life is taking its terrible toll
I am burdened and in pain
I am burdened and in pain
My loss surely doesn’t seem like gain
How it came to this I do not know
I am overtaken by this blow
Trouble overwhelms my heart
And the deadly dangers won’t depart
Father I need your deliverance
From my helpless, hapless, hopeless stance
I need the way for you to show
Me in my mourning how to dance
Help me Lord I need You so
Oh this lamentation and this grief
From the searing pain I need relief
Heal my broken, battered mind
Make obvious what I need to find.
Help me see beyond the tempter’s lies
Help me see hope through tear stained eyes
Help me in my unbelief
Give your gift of grace here in my grief
Father I need your deliverance
From my helpless, hapless, hopeless stance
Me in my mourning how to dance
I need the way for you to show
Help me Lord I need You so
Bridge
My heart and flesh cry out
Wavering in the depths of doubt
My God You are my only need
Pour out your presence now I plead
Father I need your deliverance
From my helpless, hapless, hopeless stance
I need the way for you to show
Me in my mourning how to dance
Help me Lord I need You so
Help me Lord I need You so
Help me Lord I need You so
