Oh Lord

(album: Hope You Like It - 1973)

Oh Lord, what's wrong with me
I can't seem to be what I wanna be
And it's not for the sake of trying
I tried so hard, God know, and felt like dying

And if you've been watching
You woulda seen me crying
So oh Lord, oh Lord
Won't You give me your hand
Won't You give me your hand

They say, you can do almost anything
If you really try
But this can't be right
'Cause I tried both day and night

So if I'm doing it wrong
Please, won't You put me right
So oh Lord, oh Lord
Won't You give me your hand
Won't You give me your hand

Hope I'm not asking too much of You
Don't like really asking, but what else can I do
Oh, here I go again, I'm crying
The pen that I'm writing this with is dying
Paper in this book sure took some buying, Lord

So, oh Lord, oh Lord
Won't You give me your hand
Won't You give me your hand

Think that's about all I have to say
So if you can do anything to help me find my way
Sure would appreciate you trying
'Cause life's too short and I don't wanna spend it crying

My ma tells me I'm a fool, but I keep on trying, Lord
So oh Lord, oh Lord
Won't You give me your hand
Won't You give me your hand
Won't You give me your hand (oh Lord)
Won't You give me your hand (oh Lord)
Won't You give me your hand (oh Lord)
Won't You give me your hand (oh Lord)
Won't You give me your hand (give a little hand)
Won't You give me your hand (I need it so much)
Won't You give me your hand (oh Lord)

Won't You give me your hand
(Oh Lordy, Lordy, Lordy)
Won't You give me your hand
(Won't you give me Your hand)
Won't You give me your hand
(I need Your hand, Lordy)
