Lyrics

Help me, Jesus Christ, be with me,
Help me, Jesus Christ, be with me,
Help me, Jesus Christ, be with me,
Oh Lord, be with me.

Help me, Jesus Christ, hear my prayer,
Help me, Jesus Christ, hear my prayer,
Help me, Jesus Christ, hear my prayer,
Oh Lord, hear my prayer.

Help me, Jesus Christ, heal my life,
Help me, Jesus Christ, heal my life,
Help me, Jesus Christ, heal my life,
Oh Lord, heal my life.

The first verse is often repeated.
