I never shall forget the day that I first met You
How You changed my life the moment that I let You
You've done for me what I couldn't do for myself
When help came from no other
So take me back out on the streets
So I can help my brother
When I talk to folks I just can't help but mention
How You looked my way when I needed some attention
You reached down, picked me up from off the ground
Like trash from out of the gutter
So take me back out on the streets
So I can help my brother
I wanna go
'Cause I can hear him crying, help me, help me
My brothers are crying help me, help me
I can hear them, help me, help me
Well, you know they need a friend
You can be one to them
'Cause you know those folks out there
Are no worse off than I was
Tell me, tell me, tell me
How are they to know just what Your love does
Who's gonna tell them
Now You helped through another day
When I couldn't go any further
You reached down, picked me up from off the ground
Like trash from out of the gutter
Say, You've done for me what I couldn't do for myself
When help came from no other
So take me back out on the streets
So I can help my brother
I gotta go
I can hear him crying, help me, help me
My brothers are crying help me, help me
Can You hear them crying, help me, help me
My sisters are crying help me, help me
Hear the children crying help me, help me
Can You hear them crying, help me, help me
