For Just a Bit of Help Small

For just a bit of help so small,

Ah my Lord, really what all

We often have to go through,

This all is well known to You.

Oh what all we need to bear,

To speak out we don’t dare,

Fearing how they may react,

And so, we put on a great act,

Posing to be what we are not,

Ah my Lord, this pains a lot,

With them we feel oh so tense

As we engage in great pretence,

Our real feelings we suppress,

As those folks we seek to impress,

So that our request they’ll concede

And give to us that which we need.

Oh how ourselves we thus demean,

You know it well, it all You’ve seen,

You understand fully this our plight,

Lord, please now set all this right!
