Help Me Daddy

Help me daddy

The child cried out

“I’ve lost my way

She does shout



Help me daddy

I can’t see

Where are you daddy

Please come to me



Help me daddy

I can’t hear

I know you speak

Why aren’t you near



Help me daddy

 I’m sinking fast

Muddy quick sand

Is my cast



Help me daddy

My head is spinning

Oh’ this fear

Is surely winning



Help me daddy

I’m going down

I just give up

You won’t come around



Oh well, dear dad

It’s just too late

In this pain

I’ll die, my fate



O’ My beloved child

I tried to help

I heard the first time

That you did yelp



O’ My beloved child

You passed me by

Every time

That you did cry



O’ My beloved child

I died for you

To give you strength

And help you through



O’ My beloved child

I left my word

I paid the price

For all incurred



O My beloved child

I sent my best

I gave you everything

So you could rest!



My heart so aches 

For you my child

For by the Enemy

You were beguiled



By the bed 

Where you just died

Were all my answers

To the prayers you cried!



Come unto me all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.  
Matthew 11:28
