God help me and hold my hands
And take me today under your wings
Help me to find love and peace
And enjoy happiness endless ring
Let me find my soul in deep prayers
So I can easily find my lost self today
And I can focus on the path of strength
To fight back tears that come in the way
God help me to wipe the sadness and grief
That is spread all around on this Earth
Please make me the source of joy and love
Where everything can sparkle and bring mirth
Where I can sit and recall memories
That are hopeful and lovely to make me smile
So pain can vanish like rain and bring back
Peace, solace and comfort for a while
God please help me and hold my hands
And take me today under your caring wings
Give me the wisdom and courage to celebrate
And smoothen the ride of happiness ring
So I can have a clear heart and soul
And I can recognise my emotions today
And clear my mind of the painful events
To find peace and solace in life's way.
