Help us Lord for the faithful are few
Those loyal hearts have faded from view
You Lord will keep the needy safe
Protect us from the wicked's embrace
Neighbors lie and deceive speak with a flattering tongue
Hidden hearts of deception where their praises are sung
May the Lord silence lips that speak with pride
Those who boast "Our words can't be denied"
Help us Lord for the faithful are few
Those loyal hearts have faded from view
You Lord will keep the needy safe
Protect us from the wicked's embrace
"Because the poor are plundered the needy groan in pain
I will rise up" says the Lord "to break their chain"
The Lord's words are pure like silver in the flame
Refined and flawless always the same
Help us Lord for the faithful are few
Those loyal hearts have faded from view
You Lord will keep the needy safe
Protect us from the wicked's embrace
The wicked strut around evil is praised
When corruption is honored the vile are raised
Help us Lord for the faithful are few
Those loyal hearts have faded from view
You Lord will keep the needy safe
Protect us from the wicked's embrace
