Avis Bailey Poet Rhyme

Could You Use Some Help Today

There's so many times I call on you
for the needs of the day,
Day or night you are always there
when I kneel down to pray.
So I thought with all the things you do
I'd just call  on you to say,
Is there anything I can do for you
to help you out today.

If someone's having troubles
I'd be willing to volunteer.
If they need someone to listen
I'd gladly lend my ear.
If they're lonely, sick, or dying
I'd be the friend they need that day.
With all the work that's facing you,Lord
Could you use some help today.

I wonder if there are any times
you feel you need to get away.
I wonder if some prayers to you
you would like to just delay.
I know you are not the kind of God
who will ever be dismayed,
But I offer to you, that I'm willing to do
whatever will help today.
