They said God helps those who help themselves.
I tried hard to conform.
The program called for drink and drugs.
Live hard and fast was the norm.
God seemed to not care - he wasn’t around.
“There is no Godâ€, they said.
So live it up in the here and now.
‘Cause when you’re dead, you’re dead.
But God just laid back and gave me rope.
Enough to hang on it’s true.
But when I got to the end of that rope
There was God there too.
He seemed to say “I help them all,
whom I made and love you see.
Surely he who can’t help himself,
whenever he turns to Me.â€
