Lend a Helping Hand
There's always some poor soul, I find,
whose life is in a mess!
Someone, who really needs some help,
in times of strife and stress.

They need their spirits lifted,
sometimes that's all it takes!
It really is surprising,
the world of difference, that it makes!

A smile, an act of kindness,
will do...

A True Story of a Helping Hand
One night a young man appeared at my door,
It seemed he had troubles I couldn't ignore.
Some water and a phone call was all he asked for,
Yet somewhat reluctant, I opened the door.
As I listened, he told me a little about his life,
And I could plainly...

A Helping Hand
None of us are sufficient,
all by ourselves, to meet
every need in our life.

We all need help from
someone-sometime,
as we go traveling through
our journey-filled with cares
and strife.

What joy it is to have
a friend to walk along
beside us! Just to feel
the touch of a hand…

Jesus is such a...

A Helping Hand
There comes in life, terrible times
when we are caught in common crimes,
not that we can't afford to drop a dime,
but we are blind to the beauty in... birdlime.

There are poor elders, starving and dying:
so many children, craving and crying.
When will we stop sleeping and spying
and...

As I came out of the men’s room I spotted her walking down the hallway.  I knew her by sight but had not become well acquainted.  As I entered the hall way, she was turning toward the front with...

To be honest my friend, when I’m at a loose end
I can fall prey to worry and fear
So give me a shout and I may help you out
When your burden’s too grievous to bear

I will offer my hand that together we’ll stand
United and facing down...

Helping Hand
The greatest gift you can bring to life
learn to smile and enjoy your time
it's fun to dance and just unwind 

In caring for another man
it's good to teach and be their friend
when work is done with a smile and fun

The reward is that respect is...

If you fall from grace, your life's a disgrace,
What you need is a helping hand.
Should you trip on stones; fall or break your bones,
Again,  you look for a helping hand.

Be glad of a friend.  One who will extend
Help and comfort in your hour...

A Helping Hand
A tornado can ruin homes
Destroy a whole complete town,
People there come together
None are seen with a frown.

A hurricane comes along
Not one business it didnt touch,
Yet again all comes together
Anger, resentment you dont see much.

A family member strays away
Chaos for everyone now there,
Nobody comes together now
Its...

The sun is rising yet I cannot sleep.
Longing for a home and food to eat.
A nice warm bath, a soft shimmering light.
Hopes of a place to sleep tonight.

Memories of laughter, a different life.
Days not filled with fear and strife.
Tears they fall from my mother's eyes
When...

There was a time in life so long ago
when all my visions suddenly seemed dark;
the nighttime sky was void of moonlight’s glow,
and sunless winter days were grey and stark.

I felt as though the walls were closing in,
and squeezing from my soul my very life
as I...

Oh, poor heart, why are you in so much pain?
Why do you take this heart ache, when someone who you know is in pain.

Someone's sleepless nights, someone's despair,
The heart bleeds when fate punishes someone so unfair.

Although people know and sympathize with the misery,
the helping hands,...
