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...
