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
