Helpless

I can do all things through Christ as He strengthens me

But left alone to my designs I’m as helpless as can be

So hear this prayer on bended knee and help me know the truth

Light my way and help me see that it all comes back to You

Lord it always comes back to You

Chorus

For I am helpless without Your touch

And I am hopeless without Your love

So love me, Lord I rely on You, only You

I surrender my will to Your own

Be my defender and help me to know

That You love me, Lord I rely on You

Heaven hushed as God bent down to listen to my plea

In the stillness Jesus stood and began to intercede

Angels charged with my concern rushed to carry me

To the throne of matchless grace where His mercy met my need

Lord Your mercy is what I need

Chorus

For I am helpless without Your touch

I am hopeless without Your love

So love me, Lord I rely on You, only You

And I surrender my will to Your own

Be my defender and help me to know

That you love me, Lord I rely on You

Bridge:

So take my life as a sacrifice as I bow before Your throne

Be my one desire, a consuming fire, as I trust in You alone

Chorus

For I am helpless without Your touch

And I am hopeless without Your love

So love me, Lord I rely on You, only You

I surrender my will to Your own

Be my defender and help me to know

That you love me, Lord I rely on You

You love me and Lord I rely on You

You love me and Lord I rely on You
