Verse number one:
Long ago… in a parable of old…
Jesus told of a bruised and battered soul…
Laying out beside the way… people passed him on that day…
There was no one to help… a helpless sinner man…

Verse number two:
A samaritan was travelin' down that road…
Saw a shattered life… beneath life's heavy load…
Bound him up with oil and wine… took him to an inn that night…
Gave a helpin' hand… to a helpless sinner man…

The chorus:
Lend a helping hand
To a helpless sinner man…
Pull him out of this old life's
Sinkin' sand…
Put his feet upon a rock
Help him back up to the top
Lend a helpin hand…
To a helpless sinner man…

Turn-a-round
Verse number three:
Years ago, I was a sinner… so undone…
A lonely man… who needed help from god's own son…
He pulled me up from way down low… gave me joy back in my soul…
A helping hand he gave… to this helpless sinner man

The chorus:
Lend a helping hand
To a helpless sinner man…
Pull him out of this old life's
Sinkin' sand…
Put his feet upon a rock
Help him back up to the top
Lend a helpin hand…
To a helpless sinner man…

Tag: put his feet upon a rock
Help him back up to the top…
Lend a helpin hand…
To a helpless sinner man…

O… lend a helping hand to this helpless sinner man…
