Lord, Help Me to Remember
Traditional Christian Hymn
[Chorus ] Lord, help me to remember all that You have been, A forgiving, loving Father, in spite of what You've seen. [Verse 1] Let love shine through the darkness, shedding light where there was none, Implant in me the memory of all that You have done. And in return I'll praise You, Lord, and glorify Your name, For without You, Lord, my light grows dim, a slowly dying flame. [Chorus ] Lord, help me to remember all that You have been, A forgiving, loving Father, in spite of what You've seen. [Verse 2] Let me walk beside You, with Your Hand in mine, I'll keep my eyes on You, Lord, till the end of time. Lord, let me show another all that You can give, Let words flow out from You, Lord, just how we all should live. [Chorus ] Lord, help me to remember all that You have been, A forgiving, loving Father, in spite of what You've seen. [Verse 3] Give me inspiration to overcome my fears, And let Your Hand come down to me and wipe away the tears. Fill me with Your Spirit, to recall what You command; I'll let my faith in what You say take me by the hand. [Chorus ] Lord, help me to remember all that You have been, A forgiving, loving Father, in spite of what You've seen. [Verse 4] My life is Yours, to do Your will, I'll listen and obey, So guide me, Lord, here and now, every single day. And when You come to take me home, my waiting heart will sing, As I leave this world and all its pain, to live with You, my King. [Outro ] To live with You, my King.
