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
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

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
