Analysis of Dear God, Please Help!
Steve Cochrane 1955 (Cape)
Dear God, please help real often so
I will not feel alone.
Please hold my hand and help me grow
In faith that I can own.
Dear God, please help so deeply my
Bone marrow feels it too.
I need your love to help me try
In all I say and do!
Dear God, please help me sense your love
That never goes away;
The kind that Jesus, our Lord of
The world showed every day.
