HOW CAN YOU HELP ME

HOW CAN YOU HELP ME

HOW CAN YOU HELP ME CRIPPLED JESUS
HOW CAN YOU HELP ME

HOW CAN YOU SHOW ME THE WAY
WHEN YOUR HANDS AND FEET
ARE NAILED TO THE CROSS

HOW CAN YOU MEND BROKEN HEARTS
WHEN YOURS IS BROKEN BY A SPEAR

HOW CAN YOU CLEAR MY MIND
WHEN YOURS IS CLOUDED
BY THE PAIN OF THORNS
HOW CAN YOU HELP ME

HOW CAN YOU HELP ME
MY WOUNDED JESUS
HOW CAN YOU HELP ME

AND JESUS SAYS
I CANNOT
AS LONG
AS I AM FIXED HERE

FIXED HERE
TO THE WOOD
BY THE NAILS

YOU MUST TAKE ME DOWN
AND LET ME BE WITH YOU
LET ME BE A PART OF YOU
LET ME BE WITHIN YOU

THEN YOU SHALL BE
MY HANDS AND FEET
MY HEART AND MIND
WHEN YOU AND I
ARE ONE
AS I
AND THE FATHER
AND THE SPIRIT
ARE ONE

BUT…
BUT WOUNDED SAVIOR
WITH YOUR DAMAGED FEET
WE WILL NOT TRAVEL FAR

LEAN ON ME CHILD
AND I YOU

AND WEARING OUR WOUNDS
LIKE BADGES
WE WILL MAKE IT THROUGH

NOT BY DENIAL OF OUR WOUNDS
FOR THEY ARE REAL

BUT IN THE WISDOM
THAT YOU TAUGHT US
THAT YOU DID NOT SUFFER IN VAIN
OR DIE IN VAIN

THAT YOU DID NOT SUFFER
AND DIE
FOR MY FAILURE
OR MY CONDEMNATION
BUT MY SUCCESS

AT SUCH A PRICE
CAN I REFUSE
TO TAKE YOU DOWN
AND MAKE US ONE
