"Help Me" became the side promoted to country radio, and the song reached No. 6 on the Billboard Hot Country Singles chart on the week of August 10, 1974.
Lord, help me walk
Another mile, just one more mile,
I'm tired of walkin' all alone
Lord, help me smile
Another smile, just one more smile,
You know I just can't make it on my own
I never thought I needed help before,
I thought that I could get by by myself
Now I know I just can't take it any more
With a humble heart, on bended knee,
I'm beggin' You, please, help me
Come down from Your golden throne to me, to lowly me,
I need to feel the touch of Your tender hand
Remove the chains of darkness
Let me see, Lord let me see,
Just where I fit into your master plan
I never thought I needed help before,
I thought that I could get by by myself
Now I know I just can't take it any more
With a humble heart, on bended knee,
I'm beggin' You, please, help me
With a humble heart, on bended knee,
I'm beggin' You, please, help me
