Help Me Father
by Barbara Philbrook

Help me Father to get through today,
reminding me You are with me all the way.

Give me the faith I need to believe,
that all of my pain you will relieve.

Help me to remember You are my grace,
and You are here beside me no matter what I face.

I am covered by the blood of the Lamb,
so it is a new creature that I am.

I needn't fall to pieces nor crumble today,
because Jesus is beside me all the way.

By my inheritance I have complete control,
and Satan must get behind me when He's told.

I can denounce Him and stomp Him with my feet,
over every attack I shall have the defeat.

Not by might, not the strength of my mind,
but by the blood of Christ this victory I'll find.

Peace in my heart, an inner calm,
knowing my Father will keep me from all harm.

You hold me and my life in the palm of Your hand,
and my life will be lived out exactly as planned.

Help me Father to keep my eyes on You,
and to trust each and every thing You do.
