Ordinary Time - Help, O Lord lyrics

Help, O Lord, no one is good anymore Your faithful ones are fast disappearing My neighbor lies, speaks with deceit in his eyes With smiling lips but a heart that would hurt me Help O Lord Help O Lord They all say, "Who can stop us anyway? They're our mouths—we can lie if we want to. Our kingdom has come, it's our will that will be done. We'll get ahead by any way we have to. Help O Lord Help O Lord The Lord replies, "I've seen your violence and your lies; I've heard the cries and the groans of the helpless. My promises are true—I'll do what they have begged me to— And I will rise, I will rise up and rescue." I am the Lord I am the Lord Though the wicked talk a mighty talk And evil is praised throughout the land The Lord will hear the cries of the weak His promises will are sure to stand Protect the helpless. Save the oppressed. Preserve the faithful, rescue the poor (repeat)
